| Post subject: | Brake issue / question for you gurus |
Well yesterday I was test driving to see if my cruise worked with the tire sensor light on, and I gently braked and the Jeep pulled pretty good to the right. Happened twice. I crammed the brakes and it stopped. Tonight when I brake it's fine until I go from about 5 mph to 0 mph. When I'm coming to a stop it sounds like a popping is going on, almost like I have gravel in my brakes. It seems to be coming from the right side. That's a new brake sound for me. I've had brake issues on all my vehicles (from driving like a bat out of heck), but this one is new to me. Any ideas on what is going on here? |

Dry or wet roads? Was the road crowned any? Have you checked everything after the lift? Although we tightened everything well its still good to check all bolts after 500/1000 miles |

Although we tightened everything well its still good to check all bolts after 500/1000 miles I do not believe it is warped rotors, as I've warped many in my life... No, Tom, I'll go through everything in the next few days, Christmas allowing. I've got some time off to tinker around in there so I'll give everything a once over. I have not noticed the noise again today. The only thing I hear now is a distinct "pop" when I let off my brakes to accellerate away from a stop. Like the pads were suction cups pulling away from the rotors. Sounds like its on both sides. Maybe it is just from being wet. I swear I'm hearing all kinds of new sounds, creaks, cracks, groans, and pops, almost every time I drive it. Feels solid handling though except sometimes when I brake. Today it actually pulled the other direction when I braked.... |

Check the caliper bolts. |
