Grand Cherokee Brake Shudder Fix (I think)
 

my 1999 Grand Cherokee front brakes used to shudder like they would fall
apart. I know this is a huge problem with Grand Cherokees. Brake assembly
(TB) and rotors were replaced by the dealer (under warranty). Rotors were
replaced three times too no avail. Dealer finally told me I would have to
pay to have them fixed. I was disgusted with DC, and their crummy product.
However, I had to keep driving this thing because I had no other car, and
not enough money to buy a new car.

Enter Jeep Forums: They pointed me to Stillen. On a wing and a prair, I
ordered new brakes and rotors (Cross drilled and slotted) from Stillen.

It's been 10,000 miles and no shudder...and the brakes grap much better than
the old DC ones. Total cost approx $300 and about 3 hours labor (I did it
myself)

I dont work for Stillen, but for what it's worth, their product fixed my
problem and it will no doubt fix yours if you own a Grand Cherokee with
Brake shudder

Re: Grand Cherokee Brake Shudder Fix (I think)
 

It's just the composite rotors from Jeep that failed, they corrected the
problem by '02, probably still using composite rotors, but any twenty dollar
cast iron replacement will fix the problem. Warrantee replaces both the
rotor and calipers: http://www.----------.com/WJCaliper.jpg

Ditto. Got mine from Kolak. Expect them to last well over 100,000
miles, mine are still going strong and I just put on the second pair
of pads a few weeks ago.

DougW,
cool website. I like the LED turn signals. I might try that.
