I just acquired this 93 Xj and have been working on it ever since I gave it to the g/f. It's turning out to be not such a good gift.
I replaced the master cylinder due to the pedal feeling spongy and fading at the top and bottoming out under hard braking. I also replaced the front pads and rotors. The pedal still feels awfully soft till it's pressed in almost 75% of the way. Even took it to a garage to be bled, where they again replaced the MC when I couldn't get the first one properly bled and couldn't spend any more time on it.
Shop got better pedal pressure and brakes work, it just still seems soft. Is this normal? it has 182,000 miles on it. new tires, brakes, shocks and springs now. Should I replace the flex lines Next? Calipers and rear cylinders maybe?
