Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 2000
The ATE (Alfred Teves) are the OEM brakes pads, shoes and calipers on 1999 and later Grand Cherokees. There was a TSB on front brakes on certain Grand Cherokees that had issues with warping rotors causing vibration, excessive wear and noise. For those vehicles the front brake pads, rotors and calipers were replaced with Akebono parts. There are things to look for under the vehicle but the easiest thing to do is to go to your local dealer ask the service manager or parts counter to check and see if the parts were replaced, they will need your VIN number.They can also check to see if you have one of the models that had the defective parts although most were 1999 models. If they were not changed you have ATE.
