I put a new set of pads and rotors on my 06' liberty. it immediately started squeeking from the driver side front. since then I have had it apart a few times, rotated the pads, cleaned and greased everything (liberally) etc. it usually shuts up for a day or two, then comes right back. This last time I noticed a small groove (~1/4" wide) that's starting to wear on the outside of the rotor, about 2" away from the outboard edge. I allready replaced the hardware kit, including the little retainers that go between the 'ear' on the pad, and the fixed bracket.

I know its not the ceramic content of the pads. this is not a normal squeek. Sometimes it's quiet, sometimes its loud. seems to quiet down a bit after driviing for a while. When it's really bad I can almost hear a little "metal to metal contact" mixed in with the squeel. (<if that makes sense?)

I'm fresh out of ideas. anyone have some insight?

thanks, Kyle.

I had the same problem on my old Nitro. Had them apart several times before I finally just replaced all the little rattle clips that the pads clip into. Problem went away. I think one wasn't holding the pad tight enough allowing it to vibrate and make a constant squeal while braking.

....seriously? I've never heard of this.

an I replaced the little spring clips once, it didn't help. I thought maybe one of those was touching the rotor.. Which would explain the squeeking, metal to metal, and the groove. As far as I can tell it'd not.

^^ X2 ^^

Same thing has happened to me. Not with the Jeep but with other cars. Finally replaced just the pads and it went away.

Same thing happened to me, Just had my shop re-plane my rotors... haven't noticed a squeak except on really cold mornings, then its gone in within a mile.
