If anyone has any additional recommended links, please let us know.
Parts List:
Unless specified otherwise, parts are for a 99+ jeep grand cherokee.
- WJ knuckles
- WJ Akebono Calipers (Teves are prone to rotor warping)
- WJ Akebono Caliper Brackets
- Rotors (your choice but we DO NOT RECOMMEND DRILLED AND SLOTTED due to rocks, mud and sand since we offroad)
- WJ Rotors (require redrilling for the proper bolt pattern)
- '95 crown vic rotors do not require redrilling of rotors nor grinding of Unit Bearings/Hub assemblies
