My stepdaughter's 2000 Jeep GC needs front brakes; the pedal shudders when the brakes are applied, which to me means warped rotors. She took it to a local shop who confirmed the warped rotors, and told her that in addition to replacing the rotors and pads, that the calipers also needed to be replaced. I find that odd (at the very least). Has anyone else done a brake job on one of these vehicles?

TIA

My 99 F250 Powerstroke has had a rear caliper hang up and then a front caliper hang up. It's very noticeable. I replaced a pair at a time. Other than that, replace the rotors with rotors made in the US. Very important. I replaced all 4 of my F250's rotors with cheap, chinese made rotors and they warped within months. Not it's so bad (over a year later), that I can hardly stand it. US rotors will last much longer. It's worth the extra money.
