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.

Re: Grand Cherokee Brake Shudder Fix (I think)
DougW,
question: If you use a 5v voltage regulator, why do you need the 200 ohm resistors? I dont get it. I've hooked up LED's using only 1K ohm resistors and they worked fine. Are the resistors necessary?

Without them the LEDs would burn very brightly for a second then become a SED (Smoke Emitting Diode). :) Actually you can drop using the regulator and just size the resistors for 14V. But since the voltage is hard to predict I dropped in a regulator. That means that even if the battery is a bit low, or a bit high, The signals will always be the same brightness. The cheaper LEDs you see for cars either have a regulator in them or more commonly a limiting resistor. When shopping for LEDs you are looking for the brightness (mcd) and viewing angle. The hardest part was figuring out the viewing angle so that motorist could see the signals. Still not sure I got it right. This site has some useful info and calculators. http://www.theledlight.com/technical.html -- DougW |

Chrysler put their "heavy duty" rotor and pads on our '99 and they still

But, too afraid to use it's name and address, and take on responsibility like a grown up. With an obsession with perverts and goats, where it writes via remailers, @news.alt.net, and cross posts to other perverts to no one's surprise. With extreme jealous ranting over my documents, possessions, successes, manliness and fine, Southern California surfing body, beard, and loving Christian family. Committing forgery over many of my posts, proving I'm a responsible American man. You remind me of a little rat dog, like a Mexican Chiwawa with its senseless barking, me too, me too. You're even more senile than I first thought. And the poor thing, you're too girlie to take responsibility for yourself again, by signing your statement like a man.
