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.

Re: Front Rotor Concern, 02 WJ
Since you mention that Mike, it brings to mind something else I noticed on
this WJ. I wash it in the driveway and notice that in 30 minutes the brake
rotors have patches of rust on the face. It disappears as soon as I drive
any distance, but if the setup is prove to corrosion, then that might be the
problem.
I just went out to look and the calipers are the black ones. Looks like I
might have a $300+ afternoon in the driveway coming up in the near future.
Dangit.
Thanks for all of you guyz input.

Re: Front Rotor Concern, 02 WJ

I wouldn't worry about the surface rust, but be aware that anything not
