Rear disk brakes on a 2003 jeep liberty?

The 2003 Jeep Liberty did not come standard with rear disc brakes. They had rear drum brakes. Some higher trim levels or optional packages *might* have included them, but it wasn't a standard feature. To know for sure if your specific Jeep Liberty has rear disc brakes, you need to:

* Check your vehicle's documentation: Your owner's manual should specify the braking system.

* Look at the brakes themselves: If you can safely access the rear wheels, you'll see a drum brake if it's a drum system, and a caliper if it's a disc system. A drum brake is a cylinder, while a disc brake has a caliper clamping onto a disc.

* Check your vehicle identification number (VIN): A VIN decoder (many are available online) can provide detailed specifications about your vehicle's original equipment, including brake type.

It's important to note that it is *possible* someone has aftermarket installed rear disc brakes on a 2003 Liberty, but it was not a factory option for the vast majority of models.
