Replying to: tmemerson (Jan 01, 2008 7:43 pm) My front driver side break pad has worn down and is rubbing gauging the rotor. The passenger side has pleny of pad left and the rears are in excellent shape...any thoughts?   The brake caliper needs to be replaced, and both front calipers should be replaced at the same time. When replacing, be sure to install the caliper with the bleeder valve on the top side.   If the problem persists, there may be a clog in the brake line.

Replying to: timmer23 (Jan 01, 2008 8:15 pm) Thanks. I figured the same but only have 30k miles on the car, thought it weird one side was bad the rest were fine. We will see what they say.

Replying to: wtd44 (Dec 11, 2007 7:07 pm) I put on what I believe are NAPA near premium rotors (slotted, $125/pair) and pads ($70 pair, they had some around $30 & 60 also) on my front brakes a couple months ago prior to selling my 01 JGC to my son with the Jeep now 85k miles (I bought an 07 JGC YE closeout). This was the first replacement since we had the dealer do it under warranty 36k miles so I do say the upgrade Jeep parts were better than the originals especially since we had more in town miles & braking the last few years. I questioned paying that much for NAPA but my mechanic likes their stuff and I've had good luck going there for "kid car" parts. My son doesn't always watch car maintenance so I wanted him to have a reasonably good/safe system going off to college, good to read your opinion here on these NAPA parts.

Replying to: naatz1 (Jan 03, 2008 6:42 pm) I've got a buddy who works as a "service writer" in a NAPA machine shop. He helped me fathom my way through the NAPA offerings, and so far, it continues to be a good choice. My best to you and your son on yours!
#65 of 104 Hissing sound coming from??? by oakley3 Jan 04, 2008 (7:22 pm)
Please help!   My Jeep is a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo.   I hear a hissing/whooshing sound as soon as I start it. The sound seems to be coming from the brake booster.   When I use the brakes at any time, the hissing/whooshing sound stops. But when I release the brake pedal, the sound starts again.   The braking system works well.   Any advice? Sure would appreciate it.

Replying to: oakley3 (Jan 04, 2008 7:22 pm) brake booster need to be replaced, seal around where the rod from brake peddle is leaking brakes will still work but you will have a prob with valves and stuff as it allowes the fuel mixture to lean out where the vacuem line is hooked to the engine thus causing the temp to rise in that area of the engine poss causing internal damage Replies to this message: dzheepa (Jan 06, 2008 2:46 pm)
#68 of 104 braking on ice by dzheepa Jan 06, 2008 (2:46 pm)
Replying to: tuggajb (Jan 05, 2008 11:10 am) Hi, please could someone help me bear some light on a problem with my Jeep Cherokee Orvis it is 1999 model, and everytime it goes on ice the brakes dont work properly and makes this horrible grinding sound. Otherwise it is perfect, it is definately something to do with the ABS, as when I take the fuse out its fine.

Could it be that it's just the natural sound of your ABS in operation? Replies to this message: dzheepa (Jan 07, 2008 2:34 pm) wtd44 (Jan 08, 2008 8:15 am)
