Overview
The Omix-ADA 16749.06 is a rubber front brake caliper bushing for the 1990–2001 Jeep Cherokee, 1993–1998 Grand Cherokee and Wranglers built 1990–1995, 1997–2006 and 2004–2006.
A rubber bushing in the caliper mount keeps the caliper centered and lets it move on its slide pin as the pads wear. When the rubber hardens or tears, the caliper can bind. Omix-ADA describes the part as a direct OE replacement built to the original specifications, with a limited five year manufacturer’s warranty. The rubber used in a caliper bushing ages with heat and brake dust, so a bushing that looks cracked or flattened is a good candidate for replacement. This part number is listed for a long span of Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Wrangler front brakes.

Vehicle fitment
Omix-ADA lists the 16749.06 for the 1990–2001 Jeep Cherokee, the 1993–1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the Jeep Wrangler in 1990–1995, 1997–2006 and 2004–2006, which spans the YJ, TJ and LJ. The three Wrangler ranges overlap, so TJ and LJ owners will both find their years within the 1997–2006 and 2004–2006 entries.
Years before 1990 and after those ranges are not listed, including the 1999 and newer Grand Cherokee and the 2007 and newer Wrangler. The part is for the front brakes only. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Rubber bushings should be checked together with the caliper slide pins, because a corroded pin can tear a new bushing. Use the Jeep service procedure for caliper removal and reassembly. Wipe the bushing bore clean and avoid petroleum products on rubber parts; use only a lubricant that is safe for rubber brake components.
