Geinding noise after New brake pads

Treleaven · Mar 11, 2017

98 4.0 aw4 w/ 4.5" lift and 33's

Put new brake pads on. The rotors looked fine so I did not change them. Now when I brake, they work great, but once I am about to come to a stop they grind. Was barely noticeable but now it seems to be getting worse.

Calipers looked fine and they were properly opened up. The slide pins were properly lubricated.

You better take look and make sure a pad didn't slip out on you --

grinding noise is bad so something isn't right

Could be the friction material in the pads, some of them are noisy

If the 98 uses the same anti rattle clips as the Renix 87-90 jeeps, I would suspect one has shifted and hung up, or broken, and or was installed the wrong way. They are 3 wrong ways to install them LOL, and only one right way. Also did you check the slide rails the pads slide on to see if they are have notches or gouges dug into them.
