You must have a pinched line or hose. You need to go back over that side from the master cylinder down to the calipher. Double-check any brake parts you may have added to this system.
No, getting new tires does not affect the brakes at all, but will give you better stopping power.
Passenger rear, drivers rear, front passenger, and then drivers front.
there is a little metal plate that scrapes the rotor to warn you when your pads are getting too warn down True, if you have rear disc brakes. But if, like most cars built before 2000 and many cars built since, you have rear drum brakes, you probably have a loose spring or something of the like. Drum brakes have springs and cables to hold the shoes in position. If a spring snaps, the shoes will be off center in the drum, causing a grinding sound. They may still work like always. Also important is that rear brakes do only 25% of the work. It's possible that the shoes need to be replaced and the drums turned or replaced even if you are able to stop with no problem. Ignoring a problem with brakes will end up costing a whole lot more money in the long run.
slack adjuster is the adjuster on the brakes of vehicles with air brakes. these are used to adjust and take the slack out of the brakes caused by usual wear on the brakes
apply your brakes gently as you accelerate
Your brakes are probably getting low and they are rubbing against the rotor.
A 1998 Jeep Cherokee has disc brakes in the front.
A 2000 Jeep Cherokee would have rear drum brakes.
The grand Cherokee does have four wheel disc brakes. The wrangler and Cherokee have rear drum brakes.

My '96 Cherokee Sport does, so I bet a '98 does.

There are disc brakes front and back on the Cherokee. EDIT: Cherokees (XJ) have Drum Brakes in the back. Disc in the front i don't know if you were referring to the new Grand Cherokees .. Those have All Disc. Hope it helps. (i own a 88 Cherokee XJ)
You have to measure the inside diameter of the drum.
it is the light telling you that your brakes are not performing the best they can. take the car to a service shop and get your brakes done.
