Title: WJ front brakes
Post by: jgsmuzzy on September 02, 2008, 11:23:00 AM

Hi all,

I need to change the front brake pads on the Jeep.  A friend tells me that there are two types of caliper in use on the WJ's due to a tsb.  How do I find out which pads I use apart from trial and error?

Any help much appreciated.

I pop'd a pad out and traced round it to show the motor factors, IIRC between 99 & 01 they could have either of the 2, obvious which one from the pad though

The later akenebo calipers are a silver/gold colour. If you haven'y got these I would get a set fitted before the discs end up warping.
