Re: warped brake rotors - ongoing ?
Hi Earle,
You're a good driver, planning ahead for your stops. But I live in
Kalifornia and if I give a car length for every ten, I'd still be
slamming on my brakes to let some jerk off at the that ramp. So I buy
one set from Kragen and then replace them for free every twenty five
thousand, for over thirty sets now. I bet someone there wishes I'd buy a
new car.

#warped brake rotor problem -

Your WJ came from the factory with Teves calipers.
#I had "serviced" the "warped" rotors at about 15k, 30k, & 45k,
#replacing them at the original 15k service visit,
#grinding at the 30k, and replacing again at 45k.
#
#At the 45k mark, I had the standard rotors replaced
#with some drilled & slotted upgraded versions on the front...
#Now we are at 54k, and approaching the next 15k interval at 60k.
#I can almost sense the coming of the steering wheel vibration during
#braking.
Welcome to the club! I changed out my rotors and pads multiple times.
When they overheated and one of the piston boots burned off, I went
ahead and replaced the Teves calipers with the Akebono kit.
TSB 05-003-02B is what you want to look at.
http://www.wjjeeps.com/brakes.htm#TSB
Replacing them was pretty easy. The kit even came with replacement
copper washers for the banjo nuts.
Note that TSB 05-003-02B is a TSB and not a recall, so if you are
out of extended warrenty, get ready to buy the 05093174AA kit (much
cheaper than getting the parts separately) and two 52098672 rotors.
Anyone have any luck using pull-off Teves calipers on a YJ?
