Tips on How to Make Your New Jeep Grand Cherokee Brake Disc and Pad Kit Last Long

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is said to be the most awarded SUV ever. It exudes elegance at every level and sports a majestic stance telling the whole world that despite its luxuriousness, it still got what Jeeps are made of—unmatched capability and efficiency in tackling any kind of terrain and driving environment. With all its amazing features and unparalleled capabilities, it is just right that you provide your Grand Cherokee with the kind of maintenance it deserves. What a better to do that than to start with your brakes. Here are some tips on how to treat your brakes right to avoid getting a new Jeep Grand Cherokee brake disc and pad kit sooner than expected:

  • Don't ignore early signs of worn-out brake pads and rotors.

As a vehicle owner, it is your responsibility to know and be familiar with the early signs of wear in your brake system, so you can act on them as soon they come out. Most brake pads nowadays have wear indicators that create audible screeching, so you'll know right away when they already necessitate replacement. You must also familiarize yourself with the signs of warped or worn-out brake disc, which include brake pulsation that can be felt in the brake pedal and in the steering wheel.

  • Clean your brake disc/rotor if they have become contaminated with oil or cleaning products.

Generally, your brake disc or rotor only needs cleaning when they are contaminated with oil from lube overspray or with commercial cleaning products. If they are dirty after your off-road trip, that's something you shouldn't worry about because they will just be naturally eliminated as you use your brakes. However, if you're bothered by your heavily soiled discs, then you can wipe them off using damp cloth. You must never clean the discs with strong cleaners and solvents as they may remove the pad material bedded in them. You may need to perform bedding-in process after cleaning your rotors.

  • Avoid bad braking habits like frequent hard braking and riding your brakes.

Of course, the best way to maintain your Jeep Grand Cherokee brake disc and pad is to do away with your bad driving habits. Avoid frequent hard braking especially from top speed as it wears out the brake pads prematurely, causes brake overheat, and damages the rotor by creating hotspots, glazing, and excessive runout. Riding the brakes, on the other hand, wears out the brakes faster and makes the brake lights on most of the time, therefore confusing other drivers.

The Grand Cherokee won't be multi-awarded if Jeep has skimped on safety and security. With the multitude of safety features fitted on it, Jeep claimed that Cherokee offered protection right when and where you need it. Its high-end brake system, for one, features advanced technologies like Antilock Brake System, Electronic Stability Control, Electronic Roll Mitigation, Brake Assist, and All-Speed Traction Control to provide you with safe, secure, and controlled braking. However, no matter how durable the Grand Cherokee brakes are, they will still succumb to regular wear and will eventually give up.

You shouldn't wait until your brake components arrive at a point when they make it too risky for you to continue driving. As soon as the first sign of irregularity or damage appears, take some time to troubleshoot it right away. Below are some of the issues associated with your Jeep Grand Cherokee's brake disc and pad, and how you can diagnose them:

High-pitched sound when braking

A high-pitched sound when the brake is applied is an indication that the brake pad has worn down too far and may now necessitate replacement. You can check this out by looking at the pads through the space on the wheel. If you notice that there is just 1/8 inch or less of the pad lining remaining, then it may be time for you to get a new Jeep Grand Cherokee brake disc and pad kit.

Pronounced vibration when brakes are applied

If you're starting to notice pulsation and vibration in the brake pedal or in your steering wheel when you apply the brakes, that means your brake disc is warped. You can diagnose the problem further by taking your Cherokee out for a test drive. Once you reach the speed of 30 mph, depress the brake pedal without going to a complete stop. If you felt the vibration, then your rotor is now severely warped, and is therefore in need of replacement. If the vibration isn't that noticeable, drive again try to reach the speed of 60 mph before applying the brakes heavily. If you now felt the vibration, that means there's now a slight warpage in the rotor. In this case, further warpage can be avoided by replacing the worn-put brake pads.

Why is it better to install a Jeep Grand Cherokee brake disc and pad kit instead of separate discs and brake pads?

Aside from the fact that kits are relatively cheaper than purchasing individual parts, getting a brake disc and pad kit also ensures that both the brake disc and the brake pads are precisely matched. The custom-matched components of these kits allow for more efficient collaboration between the rotor and the pad. This eventually leads to higher performance and faster response from the Cherokee's brake assembly. Installing an entire kit instead of individual parts can also guarantee a more exact OEM fit. This is not only essential to the proper function of the disc and pads to the rest of the brake assembly but also to the discs and pads themselves.

 

How often should brake pads and brake discs be replaced?

This will ultimately depend on the type of vehicle and the driver's driving style. Obviously, the more often a Jeep Grand Cherokee goes through hard-braking, the shorter the life span of its brake pads and discs. The average lifespan of a Jeep Cherokee's pads are 30,000 miles for the front and about 50,000 miles for the ones found at the rear. Similarly, brake discs found on the front are more likely to wear out first before discs that are installed on the Cherokee's rear tires. There is no real and accurate way of telling how long an installed brake disc and pad kit will last on a vehicle. So it's always best to regularly check the Cherokee for signs of wear and tear. Brake discs are usually manufactured with a minimum thickness, so it's fairly easy to tell when they should be replaced. Once it has become too thin, the disc must be replaced. Brake pads should also be renewed at the same time. In some occasions thinning brake pads might have been the cause of a failing disc. So always make sure that both the Cherokee's discs and brake pads are replaced in sets.

 

What is "bedding in?" How should new brakes be bedded in?

Whenever a new brake disc and pad kit is installed on a Jeep Grand Cherokee, the shiny new surfaces of the new parts can affect the precision of the Cherokee's brakes. Bedding in is a process wherein the new pad's surface is steadily driven to help reduce brake noise, make the pads last longer, and increase its stopping performance. Braking in or bedding in a newly installed brake disc and pad kit is relatively easy. Take the Jeep Grand Cherokee for a spin and brake gently after 30 to 40 seconds of running 30 to 40 mph. This is repeated for a few more times to ensure proper brake-in of the pads and discs. This will help cool the Cherokee's brakes and get its new brake pads acclimated to the surface of the new brake disc.

A Short Course on Brakes
A Short Course on BrakesWhen you step on the brake pedal, you are actually pushing against a plunger in the master cylinder, which forces hydraulic oil (brake fluid) through a series of tubes and hoses to the braking unit at each wheel. Since hydraulic fluid (or any fluid for that matter) cannot be compressed,
