    Generally speaking, and even moreso with Jeep products, when there is a problem in a caliper, the brake lines going to that caliper should be examined and checked to make sure they are not occluded, linked or possibly installed improperly (it’s easy for a shop to give those jobs to an unqualified tech who doesn’t reroute the line properly when they reinstall the new calipers.

    Additionally, the slide pins should be examined, cleaned and properly lubricated. Many techs put too much grease in the caliper holes, which causes the pins to be unable to slide fully.

    I would start by examining everything, then uninstalling the brake pads, rotors, calipers and check/flush the brake lines.

    I would also be sure to bleed the ABS in case that was missed when they reinstalled the new caliper.

    There is a procedure for each vehicle, and it requires a computer to complete that process.

    Good luck!
