Re: Jeep TJ know problems?
Scott, you should check to see if a piece of your backing plate is
touching your rotor. When mine snapped it damaged the backing plate. I
didn't notice it when I first changes the rotors over, and It was
squealing. After I pulled the wheel the second time, I noticed a small
piece of the backing plate was barely touching on the back side. It
wasn't easy to see.

I think the pads may be glazed. It only squeals when cold or I haven't
braked in a while. After a few applications, the squeal stops, until
it cools again. I used the blue sticky stuff on the back of the pads.
I replaced pads and rotors at the same time, thought I broke them in
easy, now it squeals cold. I hate that sound! It will be warm soon
and I can pull the calipers and take another look. I can always try
to rough them up with some emery cloth. (pads and rotors) Maybe I
waited too long after spraying the blue goo to assemble?
I used Bowman disc brake squeal silencer No. 19441. It worked great
when I changed out the factory pads the first time. The second set
needed new rotors. It also worked great on my heavy Chevy. Those
pads needed a new set of anti-rattle clips as they had no spring
anymore. These Raybestos pads have the clips built in. I like the
way that the Jeep rotors don't need bearings pressed and pre-lubed!

Re: Jeep TJ know problems?
If you used Raybestos pads, they might have a "lifetime warranty." Just take
them back to the auto parts store you purchased them from and tell them they
are squealing. Probably get free replacements. Hope you have your receipt.
