Hi Denny,
That's nearly impossible to freeze a piston and not have it drag
and burn: http://www.----------.com/WJCaliber.jpg Take her in as see

Re: Front Rotor Concern, 02 WJ
To get that wear pattern, there must be some combination of warped rotor
(dished in), bad or misseated pad, or caliper piston cocked over. I'd
tear it down, see what the inboard pads look like. At 40 k miles,
youshould have something like 1/2 wear on the pads, should be very
noticeable.
On the other hand, you may find very little wear, that would point to
frozen mounitng pins.

Re: Front Rotor Concern, 02 WJ
You can't predict wear according to mileage, unless you know driving style
and where driven. It could be that the calipers are mounted on a slight
slant, to prevent squealing and grabbing, and that the pads just haven't
worn in that far yet. I would take it to a Jeep dealer and ask them if they
have seen it before. Of course, if the performance is good I would resist
buying new calipers, new rotors, new spindles, etc. unless they showed me
some kind of TSB or service manager's bulletin from the manufacturer. Maybe
there is a shim that can be installed.
For the faceful of hot oil buy some metal ramps or build a set out of
stacked two-by-sixes like I have. If you are older like Bill maybe
two-by-tens would be easier to see.

Re: Front Rotor Concern, 02 WJ
It's really common up here in the rust belt Bill. The sliders and pins
get corroded and sticky easy. The ends of the pads even wear notches in
the slider jamming them up big time. Then the slider face has to be
rebuilt or replaced. They need a good lube job, better than the factory
does, that's for sure.
