Re: XJ front brakes
TW-
The Jeep mechanic at the dealership was called-on by the parts guy to
assist me. He volunteered that MOPAR had such problems with the
earlier (composite) brakes, that they now are using Stainless.
The pads are carbon-metaiilc, I believe. One can get the same Kit,
but with ceramic pads for an additional $25 -30.
Incidentally, the $125.24 that I paid was discounted from the $165.00
list price because I had to make an extra trip because their computer
showed an inaccurate inventory.
