new front brake pads installed this morning....took my time cleaning the assembly with tooth brush and brakeleen (wearing gloves of course).

dirty oem pads (less than 15K miles)

By zdagon52 at 2011-10-07
road tested(very quiet) and bedded in.
whyd you replace them? plenty of life left it looks like, just dirty

i hear you..

well....issue was very very slight pulling to one side upon hard braking with old pads.

my intention was to inspect the front calipers, brakeleen the assembly....might as well replace the pads. Factory rotors are fine.
better safe then sorry! im the same way lol if its in question i replace it lol

How much did the dealer want? Mine said they would have to order and it would be a few weeks. Wanted to get the Hard top on before then. I ordered mine from Quadratec for (ugh!) $19.99 per side. DaveyJeep wantes $12.00 for a used pair plus shipping. Every place I looked online were either $19.99 each or $29.99 Each (morris for example). Here is the Quadratec Page. Have to oder both sides, not sold as a set.
The dealer wanted 39.95 per side. Ill make my own before I pay that much. I'll check quadratec.
