My breaks on my 89 xj are shot, not really sure what is stopping the thing. The break pedal goes all the way to the floor, better be sure that you don't have to stop in a hurry. I have read the forums about removing the old abs and comming in with newer parts. Does any one have a general cost estimate or any other advice. Has any one close to the high desert, SoCal done this conversion? Thnx

Sounds to me like you might have to replace the master cylinder if your pedal is going to the floor.

Someone who remembers the details should chime in right about now, but I'm pretty sure the '89 ABS is covered under a lifetime warranty because it's a Bendix POS...

false...and dangerous. if you remove abs from the old bendix system, you lose your brakes completely

Actually, I'm sure it's come up in here one or more times which is why I even remember that much about it. Try searching Bendix ABS recall and sift through the hits on that one. Limit it to the Technical Forums first.

if you remove the ABS, you need to replace the complete brake system from a newer XJ. there is a writeup on how to do it, but it's only available to naxja members

The recall covers the pump....not the accumulator... I am down in So Cal and will have a booster and master from a 90 very soon that could be swaped over and remove the entire abs system with a little work... Its really pretty simple and straight forward...only time consuming takes the better part of a day.... I have done three thus far with sucess....
