Where does brake fluid come into the equation? The brake fluid or hydraulic fluid is responsible for moving the components of your Jeep Grand Cherokee brake system.

For any brake related questions or concerns, reach out to our Jeep experts at Larry H. Miller Colorado Jeep.

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Jeep Grand Cherokee brake system is comprised of the following key components:

  • Rotors still called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are various types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let find the best type of brake rotors for your Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • Brake pads or shoes are the parts that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's exceptionally crucial to keep Jeep Grand Cherokee brake pads fresh by replacing them as they go through quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Jeep Grand Cherokee maintenance schedule for the advised mileage intervals.
  • Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
  • Heat Shield or dust shield helps prevent grime buildup thereby extending the life of your brake system.
  • Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Jeep Grand Cherokee brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined regularly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Jeep Grand Cherokee maintenance schedule for more facts on when your hoses should be replaced.
  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Jeep Grand Cherokee rotors to slow or stop your car.
  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Jeep Grand Cherokee braking system together so it can function perfectly.
  • Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to activate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to initiate the parking brake of your Jeep Grand Cherokee.
  • Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Jeep Grand Cherokee brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which also acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can also cause damage to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start distorting them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate also protects the brake caliper from disproportionate heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will evenly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Often, the more pistons in a caliper, the more evenly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Rear Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

Rear brake components usually wear out well after the front brakes due to the level of stress needed to slow a car. Some rear brakes can last up to 50,0000 - 80,000 miles, but you should confer your Jeep Grand Cherokee service manual for suggested maintenance intervals for all components. Keep in mind you should invariably have your service department perform a multipoint examination which includes inspecting your brake system.
