Re: Need help with 98 Grand Cherokee problems
>>Was it professionally installed? If so just take it back.
Yes, I always go to garages for everything on the Jeep.
The brakes dont' start chattering until 8-12 months or more after they
have been replcaed. It's not like it happens a wek later.
Do you really think anyone would replace the pads again, after more
than 10K miles (approx)?
I don't- even from a reputable dealer or garage.
>>My first choice would be to check the speaker. Remove the grill (cover) of the >>speaker.
How? The grill is press fitted into the door paenl. I f I tried to pry
it out, I'm afriad I would bend the grill or cosmetically damage it.
I'd rather take the door panel off- if it's something i can do without
screwing up the window motor mechanism & lock.
Once I get the door panel off, I know how to look for loose wires & bas
splcies. It's getting into the door that's a problem.
Thanks for the reply

I am thinking that brakes should last more than 8-12 months, but I don't
know where you live and drive. I can remember sanding used pads, or putting
duct tape or "silencing compound" on the back, to quiet the squealing.
Sometimes it worked, sometimes not.

Re: Need help with 98 Grand Cherokee problems
Yeah but Midas rapes you on the labor which is not included in that
"guarantee" and will ALWAYS find something else for you to buy and pay
for if you bring it back for new pads. It's a gimmick and I'm surprised
many fall for it.
