Wj brakes making noise
Just replaced my rotors and brakes yesterday. one of the bolts were stripped LE 10.9 on the caliper mount.. I replaced that today. This was on the pass rear wheel. After all was set up I took it for a drive. the brake same side is making noise like its rubbing or something while driving and while braking. I took the rotor and the brakes off about 5 different times and each time i checked to see if there was rubbing or anything. Im stumped. anyone have an idea of what it could be?

I had the same problem, it drove me crazy for about 3 weeks. I didn't know if was a stuck caliper or bad brake lines. I checked everything multiple times and couldn't find anything. Eventually it just went away, and I haven't had the noise and rubbing since. Knock on wood.

I had a similar issue after doing rotors and pads, I must have tweaked the plunger some how compressing it, I'm guessing. because a week later the caliper froze up on me and had a hell of a time getting the plunger compressed enough to get it off the rotor.

About 2 months ago is when it stopped. I had no idea what it was. I even change the rotors again and it still did it. But I think if there is a stuck caliper it will pull to that side when you brake. Does your jeep do that?

Yea I had the same exact issue you have now. Mine did go away tho, it drove me nuts. It feels like a rotor a pad issue almost. Give it a few days and see if it gets better:
