Working on the brakes on the XJ last night was frustrating. (89 w/o ABS)
Pedal was low so I got the rear brakes adjusted up and bled them. Pedal back up and good and firm.
Front brakes work great.
Rear brakes will barely stop the rear tires idling in N with the tires off the ground. shoes look good, replaced cylinders, still no go.
My only thought at this point that makes sense is a bad lining in the hose going from the body to the axle. I get good flow when bleeding the brakes, but maybe when under pressure the lining blocks it off. I have had this happen on front lines before anyway.
I would think that if the MC was going bad the pedal would not be firm and would drop.
Any other ideas?
