I own a 99 XJ w/ 4WD, commandtrac.
When I step on the brakes, I get a vibration from the front end.
My Pirellis were getting pretty worn so I figured they might have something
to do with that. This past weekend I replaced them with new tires but the
vibration is still there.
My educated guess is that the front disks are warped.
Do you guys know of any way to make sure this is the problem without the use
of special tools?
Would the warping be bad enough that several measurements with a micrometer
around the disk would show this?
I'm leaning on getting new disks but would like to make sure before I spend
the money.
Which type of disk would be better? vented or solid?
What brand would you recommend?
What is a composite disk?
Is that one that is partially cast and where the rest of the body is made of sheet metal??
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
Manuel
