How Often Do Your Jeep J10 Brakes Need Service

It’s best to get a brake check before your Jeep J10 shows signs of brake troubles. We make it easy by providing free brake checks to all of our customers so that we can help stop problems before they start. You can ask for a free brake check at any time. Schedule one on its own or request a brake check during a regular service, like a battery replacement. If life has gotten in the way of everyday car care, keep the following brake information in mind.

Symptoms of bad brakes include unusual sounds, a vibrating pedal or steering wheel, a burning smell near your tires, a dashboard brake light that’s powered on, or a gut feeling that something’s not right. You know your Jeep J10 better than anyone else. Turn to our technicians to help keep your brakes at peak performance! In general, manufacturers like Jeep advise that at a minimum, front and rear brakes are removed and serviced at least once every 12 months or 12,000 miles. That includes inspecting the parking brake. Brake service and/or repair should be performed as necessary. When in doubt, visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for a quick inspection. Most of our locations are open seven days a week and in the evening for free brake checks. Our technicians will inspect your 1986 Jeep J10 brakes, brake fluid level, and more! Preventative brake care can help keep you safe on the road.

Replacing Your Jeep J10’s Brake Pads

How often should you change your 1986 Jeep J10’s brake pads? It depends on you and your driving style. The majority of brake pads last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Factors like frequent highway driving and smooth braking can help your brake pads last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your J10. Brake pads made of certain materials tend to outlast others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers brake pad replacement for Jeep J10s that comes with a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are some of our most popular services. For your J10, we’ll use brake components that meet or exceed Jeep’s specs.

Get Your Jeep J10 Brakes Fixed

You might have a strong and reliable engine in your Jeep  J10. One that can outlast the 170,000-mile mark. But if you can’t brake, it might as well be scrap metal. If you notice your brakes are squeaking or not working well, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best. Plus, ignoring your brake problems can result in more damage and higher brake repair bills. For example, if you drive with completely worn out brake pads, your rotors might start to warp, and the metal-to-metal grinding may compromise other healthy parts. We can help prevent that damage from happening. Go to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for 1986 Jeep J10 brake repairs. Our brake repair services include pad/shoe replacement, rotor/drum resurfacing, brake fluid exchange/bleeding, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder installation.

Answers to Your J10 Brakes Questions

  • Why is my J10 shaking as I brake? Feeling shaking or vibrating in your J10 as you brake might indicate a few different problems, including worn brake pads or rotors, loose suspension components, damaged brake calipers, or warped rotors. Book an appointment for a free brake inspection as soon as you notice a problem with your brakes.
  • What is the total number of brake pads on my J10? The brake system on most vehicles consists of four brake pads per axle, with two brake pads installed on each front wheel and two on each rear wheel. The front wheels of your J10 put in more work when stopping your vehicle, so the front brake pads are likely to wear out quicker than the rear brake pads.
  • How long can I expect my J10 brake pads to last? You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your J10 can affect this. Hauling large loads or riding your brakes can shorten their lifespan, while smoothly braking and mostly sticking to highways can help your brake pads last longer.
  • Does brake fluid leak when the car is off? Your J10 has a closed hydraulic brake system, meaning you should not have a brake fluid leak under normal conditions. However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.
