I'm new here and have been searching the threads for brake problems. I bought a 1999 cherokee sport last month. When I went to have new tires put on and the alignment done, I was told the front axle was bent. I checked it with a tape measure and sure enough, the passenger side axle tube was bent up a half inch at the knuckle compared to at the differential. Anyway, I scored a free axle off another xj, I believe 2000 or 2001. In the swap I also swapped calipers since the new axle had 44,000 miles on it and my 1999 has 140,000. Well I didn't find this site before I did the swap. When I compressed the piston I didn't open the bleed valve, I just took off the brake fluid resivoir cap. My problem is that I have very weak brakes, the pedal goes all the way to the floor and I get no build in presure by pumping the brakes. I gravity bleed all four wheels and had my wife pump the brake pedal as I bled each wheel, LR, RR, RF and LF. I did get air bubbles out while bleeding. But I can't get the pedal to firm up. Please Help!!!
