Jeep Wrangler Rear Brake Pads & Rotor Replacement

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

How much do new brake pads cost?

Jeep Wrangler brake pads can cost anywhere between $150 per axle and $450 per axle depending on the type of brake pad desired. In some rare cases, they can be even more if the manufacturer requires a precise type of brake pad to be ordered for your Jeep Wrangler. Contact Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Sandy today at 3852574254 or schedule your brake service online.

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

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

  • Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Jeep Wrangler brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
  • Backing plate & return spring holds your Jeep Wrangler braking system together so it can function properly.
  • Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to trigger 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 Wrangler.
  • Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
  • Rotors still called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are different 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 Wrangler
  • Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Jeep Wrangler brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined constantly for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Jeep Wrangler maintenance schedule for more advice on when your hoses should be replaced.
  • Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Jeep Wrangler rotors to slow or stop your car.
  • 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 immensely critical to keep Jeep Wrangler brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress every time they are used. Check your Jeep Wrangler maintenance schedule for the suggested mileage intervals.
  • Heat Shield or dust shield helps impede grime buildup thereby continuing the life of your brake system.

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 again acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can again 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 again 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 uniformly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Often, the more pistons in a caliper, the more uniformly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.
