Jeep TJ know problems?
 

I'm looking at probably getting a used (1997-2001) Jeep TJ this year and I'm
wondering what problems they're known for/things to look for when checking
out used ones. Any years in that range to watch out for?

Thanks, lemme know.

Front brake rotors.

Is that where they have a thin bit of metal that rusts and cracks?

I had to replace both of mine. I wondered what that clunk was when I
hit the brakes. Since then, I can't get rid of the brake squeal with
Raybestos pads.

Ceramic pads generally (not always) are quieter and less likely to squeak. I
have used Bosch Ceramic Pads on my '02 TJ and I liked them. Lifetime
warranty - if they wear out or start squeaking, just take them back to the
auto parts store you purchased them from with your receipt (save that
receipt) and get a free set.

or Raybestos & Bendix both make ceramic pads
