Hey guys, my brakes are squeaky as s**t and I can't handle it anymore. I'm fairly certain my brake pads are the problem. I purchased fairly Cheep ones and hear squeaking in the front and back. Replaced all my rotors and that did not help. Wondering what's a good brand for pads that people are running, or if there's something I've missed. Thanks

 

Anything ceramic i use.

 

I'd look for ceramic pads from Raybestos, Bendix, Wagner or Monroe. The el cheapo generic and house brand pads are typically poor performers.

 

I run the factory performance pads in the front with no issues.

FRONT PADS | Genuine Mopar | 68044866AC

From the "brochure".

"“The NIBK Premium High Performance Ceramic friction pads.”
•Provide superior stopping ability under all weather conditions.
•Noise-free and reduced vibrations - fitted with the industry's best pre-attached rubber-core shims
•Dust Less - Protect the environment & keep those rims shiny.
•Rotor Friendly - long lasting non abrasive friction material will extend your brake disc life and reduce maintenance costs
•Direct Fit application.
•Perfect upgrade to OE brake pads.

I call BS on the "dustless" claim though.

 

I recall seeing many people recommending hawk brand pads for our jeeps.

 

Consider it a learning experience that can be remedied. Buy cheap-pads, pay more to try to correct problem-rotors, then buy middle of the price range to solve issue-change out new pads. It happens. Most of us have been there at one time or another.
Now you know that when you go to buy a house you don't want the cheapest or the most expensive on the same street.

 

I had squeeky OEM pads after maybe 20k-25k or so. I'm not hard on pads, and when I replaced them they had plenty of meat. I changed to EBC 7000 series ceramics and have had no issues since. They break themselves in too which is nice.

 

Hawk LTS. Great pads for heavy braking JKs

 

Thanks for the help guys. Just ordered a pair of Hawk LTS.

 

Hawk pads are great but they tend to produce some dust.
