Just like there are regular brake issues, there are very obvious signs that can signify the cause of a brake problem.

Brake Pads | Brake Rotors | Brake Calipers

The Jeep Compass brake system is comprised of the following key components:

• Brake Hoses transmit brake fluid from the brake line to your Jeep Compass brake calipers. It's made of rubber and is flexible so that it can move with the suspension. These hoses need to be examined consistently for cracks and other symptoms of deterioration. Check your Jeep Compass maintenance schedule for more details on when your hoses should be replaced.
• Brake Calipers squeeze the brake pads up against your Jeep Compass rotors to slow or stop your car.
• Parking Brake cable or adjuster is a steel cable used to initiate the parking brakes. When the lever is used or pedal depressed, the cable pulls the calipers or drums to initiate the parking brake of your Jeep Compass.
• Rotors still called discs or drums are what your pads grip in order to stop the wheels from spinning. There are many types of brake rotors (Blank or "smooth" rotors, Cross-drilled rotors, slotted, drilled and slotted). Let find the best type of brake rotors for your Jeep Compass
• Master cylinder or hydraulic cylinder converts the pressure you put on your Jeep Compass brake pedals to power the rest of your brake system by feeding brake fluid into the brake circuit.
• Brake pads or shoes are the components that physically make contact with your brake rotor and apply pressure or friction to slow and stop your wheels from turning. It's exceptionally critical to keep Jeep Compass brake pads fresh by replacing them as they experience quite a bit of stress each time they are used. Check your Jeep Compass maintenance schedule for the suggested mileage intervals.
• Backing plate & return spring holds your Jeep Compass braking system together so it can function properly.
• Anti-lock Braking System pump and a computer allows your car to keep traction on the road continuously.
• Heat Shield or dust shield helps limit grime buildup thereby extending the life of your brake system.

Brake pads consist of two layers: a metal backing plate and a high-friction material that includes rubber, fiber, carbon & other materials. Over time, brake pads wear down and can even start squeaking. This noise is the metal backing plate & the rotor touching, which again acts as a safety measure to let you know your brakes need repair. This can again cause damage to your rotors and, in some cases, can even start distorting them. In addition to serving as a "platform" for the friction material, the backing plate again protects the brake caliper from disproportionate heat buildup.

Brake calipers cover the rotors and contain pistons. The amount of pistons depends on the type of brake system. Brake fluid from the master cylinder forces these pistons to maneuver the brake pads against the disc. The brake caliper will uniformly distribute pressure against the brake disc. Usually, the more pistons in a caliper, the more uniformly the pressure from the pads is spread onto the brake disc.

How long do Jeep Compass brake rotors last?

This depends massively on the type of rotors, your driving style, and the type of car you're driving. Jeep Compass rotors need to be replaced each 30,000 - 80,000 miles depending on the factors above. Confer with your Jeep maintenance manual for more advice. Remember, it's repeatedly a good idea to have your complete brake system inspected by a franchise dealer with the appropriate training to spot potential issues before they cause damage to other components of your Jeep Compass brake system.

Can I just replace brake pads and not rotors?
