Discs, Rotors, and Hardware for Jeep Cherokee

The Jeep Cherokee has a place in history as the first vehicle described as a sports utility vehicle, or SUV. For its role as a family transportation vehicle, the Jeep Cherokee must have well-maintained, reliable, and safe brakes. When you need to repair your vehicles brake system, you will find discs, rotors and hardware for Jeep Cherokee.

The disc brake system on your Jeep Grand Cherokee consists of discs, also called rotors, calipers, and brake pads. The brake rotors are mounted inside the wheels and spin with them. Each disc has calipers that are positioned to grip the sides of the disc. Pads are mounted on the calipers.

When you press on the brake pedal of your Cherokee, the calipers are actuated, which causes them to clamp the pads against the rotor and decrease the speed of the spinning of the wheels in proportion to the pressure that the driver exerts on the pedal, thus slowing the Grand Cherokee. When you release the brake pedal of your Cherokee, the pads are lifted from the discs which are able to spin freely once again.

The pads and rotors on your Jeep Grand Cherokee are the parts of the brake system which you will replace over the life of your Cherokee. Since friction between the discs and pads is used to brake the Cherokee, they are subject to wear and require replacement before they wear out entirely. The rate of wear is subject to the amount that the brakes are used. Regular inspections of discs and pads can determine when replacement is necessary. Your Jeep Grand Cherokee owners manual will contain an inspection schedule for brakes and pads.

Cross-drilled rotors are OEM rotors that have holes drilled in them. Cross-drilled have holes that allow heated gasses to escape when braking which improves cooling and allows better stopping. Cross-drilled rotors have aesthetic appeal. Slotted rotors are less prone to cracking and may bite into the pads, which gives better braking but accelerates pad wear. Both types of rotors can be found for the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Metallic pads perform better in extreme cold conditions with overall better heat transference characteristics. Ceramic brake pads have a long lifespan, are quiet, and perform over a wide range of temperatures. Both types of brake pads can be found for the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Besides discs and pads, this category for the Jeep Grand Cherokee includes such brake system hardware as dust shields for the rotors, wear sensors for the rotors, mounting brackets, proportioning valves, and calipers. Always check the make, model, and year applicability of the part to verify that it will fit your Jeep Grand Cherokee.
