Yes, I searched all over this forum for answers! LOL

We just bought a '94 J30t a couple of months ago, with 170k miles on it. We have a little history on it but not much, and we when we got it there was a good deal of shaking and squealing when braking.

So right away we replaced the front brake pads, rotors and calipers. All OEM parts. We noticed that the passenger's side rotor was warped, caliper in poor condition, and pads were in worse shape than the driver's side.

With all that done, there is a grinding feel/vibration when braking. It seems to occur at low speeds, and mainly when turning and braking at the same time (if that makes sense). What else could it be?

Any help or tips are appreciated! TIA!

170k is about time for new wheel bearings...............and 15 years is way past time.

New shim kits with the new pads?

New caliper seals?

OEM or third party supplier?
