Front brake rotors for a 2017 Grand Cherokee typically run about $60–$160 each when bought aftermarket (roughly $120–$320 per pair), while rear rotors are usually $40–$120 each (roughly $80–$240 per pair). OEM Mopar parts tend to be higher, and high‑performance or SRT variants can be substantially more expensive. Prices vary by trim, rotor size, brand, and whether you choose new or remanufactured rotors.
Brake rotor costs depend on whether you need front or rear rotors, the trim level of your Grand Cherokee, and whether you’re shopping for aftermarket or OEM parts. This article outlines typical price ranges, explains what drives those costs, and offers tips for buying the right rotors for your vehicle.
Prices by position
Understanding the typical price ranges for front rotors helps you budget for a full brake service or rotor replacement. The figures below reflect common aftermarket options and OEM Mopar parts as of recent market pricing.
- Front rotors (aftermarket/non-OEM): around $60 to $160 each
- Front rotors (OEM Mopar or equivalent): around $120 to $240 each
- Front rotors (high‑performance options, drilled/slotted): around $180 to $350 each
Prices listed are per rotor; a full front axle replacement typically requires two rotors. Additional costs may include core charges, taxes, and shipping.
Rear rotors
Rear rotor pricing generally runs lower than fronts, reflecting their smaller diameter and mass. Here are typical ranges for the Grand Cherokee’s rear rotors.
- Rear rotors (aftermarket/non-OEM): about $40 to $120 each
- Rear rotors (OEM Mopar or equivalent): about $70 to $140 each
- Rear rotors (high‑performance options): about $120 to $260 each
As with the front rotors, these prices exclude taxes, shipping, and possible core charges. Always verify the exact part against your vehicle’s VIN.
What affects price: trim, size and options
Rotor prices vary with trim and rotor size. The 2017 Grand Cherokee lineup includes base/Laredo, Limited, Overland, Summit, and performance variants like the SRT. Performance models (SRT/Trackhawk) use larger, higher‑spec rotors and calipers, which increases price on both front and rear axles. Even within non‑SRT trims, rotor diameter, thickness, and hardware can differ, so confirming the exact part number is important.
Checks before buying
- Verify your VIN or the door jamb sticker to confirm the correct rotor size and caliper configuration
- Decide between new OEM rotors and aftermarket options based on budget and performance needs
- Consider whether you will replace rotors only or pair them with new pads; factor in potential resurfacing if rotors are still within thickness specifications
Matching the right rotor is essential for safe braking and proper fit. If you’re unsure, consult a parts specialist or a trusted mechanic with your vehicle information.
Summary
For most non‑SRT 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee models, expect roughly $60–$160 per front rotor and $40–$120 per rear rotor in aftermarket parts, with OEM Mopar rotors typically higher. SRT and other high‑performance variants command premium due to larger, more capable braking systems. Always confirm the exact rotor size and part number for your VIN, and consider whether you’ll replace pads at the same time to optimize braking performance and cost.
