got into a ditch and the driver side disk was submerged in water for almost two hrs-before I got the jeep out. Once I was out, I drove 20-25 miles home, 95%hwy and I parked the Jeep. Two days later, I took off the wheel to visually inspect the braking system and it looked fine. Went for a quick 2-3 mile drive and I noticed that the XJ was pulling to the right under heavy breaking. I decided to pull the wheel and re grease the bolts and any brake component..afterwards I went to rebed the brakes(10 constant stops from 60mph-15mph)..was able to pull almost straight stops..but now the brake rotors have turned almost white...

here are the pics. I wish I knew what kind of brand and type of pads they are..but I bought the jeep used..plenty of pad left tho.

any thoughts ? If I have to replace the rotors..anyone have any luck with Bendix rotors? I used their pads on some other cars with good luck. I'm leaning towards Centric Posi semi metallic pads, they have worked very good on my HondaS2000


Pads before giving them a quick sandpaper rub.

If it were me, I'd drive it and not worry. Chance your wheel bearings need attention from being submerged so long, I'll let others chip in on those.

Gee oh Dee

Sticking caliper.
