Brakes problem
2002 Jeep Liberty Four Wheel Drive Automatic 101000 miles

I had my brake pads and rotors replaced in November and now I am having a bad vibrating everytime I try to stop my Jeep. Do the brakes need replaced again?

Also, When i make sharp turns there is a loud popping noise that coming from under the car. It doesn't happen all the time, but doesn't sound normal to me. What would cause this?

Chances are the brake rotors or brake drums are warped causing the vibration. That doesn't mean it needs brakes, but the other rotors or drums may need cut or replaced. When this happens, do you feel it in the steering, seat, or brake pedal?

Also, have the ball joints and axle joints checked for the popping noise you are hearing. That isn't normal and should be identified.

Let me know what you find.
