hello
i noticed a little while ago that when i apple the brakes hard it feels like the brakes grind and i can feel it through the peddle...
some information:i have a 2010 jku with a 3.5in rough country lift with teraflex front and rear trac bars and 35 nitto mud grapplers...
if anyone has any information that would be great thanks!

 

Is it coming from front or rear or both. My suggestion, take off your tires and check the brake pads as well as your rotors. The bigger the tire (heavier) the harder it is on your brakes. If this is the case, I'd look into a different setup; heavy duty...

 

Uh.....brakes? Check your pads.

 

its just coming from the front and i went in for my service at the dealer and they said my brakes are fine...

 

it still does it after the dealer checked them? dumb question but have you looked at them and do the rotors look smooth, pads look ok -not glazed?

do you have pics of rotors? look for rocks that might be stuck in the pad area, if the drums are gouged, they will feel like that under hard braking.

 

thanks for the responses
im going to check my brakes tomorrow in the light
and i would if i still had the stock tires...

 

Been in the mud lately?

 

No I haven't
I checked that first

 

Check your hub assemblys also. Jack up the wheel thats making noise and rock it back and forth. There shouldnt be any play in the wheel, it shouldnt be able to wiggle back and forth otherwise your bearings are shot and will making similar noise that you described

 

did you figure out what was wrong with your rig? i'm having the same exact issue. i'm gonna try what was suggested above tomorrow but curious to see how things ended up on your end. i have a rubicon unlimited with aev 3.5" premium lift, 35" KM2's, and relatively new rotors/brakes.
