This last few weeks I've been borrowing a family member's 92 XJ 4wd 4.0L 5speed without abs that is dead stock. Everything was working fine until last week when I went over a large grade. The passengers side brake caliper had locked up. I changed the pads and rotors on both sides because it looked like the pad had broken apart and wedged itself between the pad backing and the rotor. I drove over that same grade this last weekend and this time the driver's side did the same thing. Towed it home and pushed the pad back in and bled and checked the components and everything looked good.
Tried to drive it again today and both calipers are sticking/dragging. They're not completely locked up but you can feel them slowing the jeep and occasionally see smoke coming from the wheel wells.
Is this a master cyl issue or a prop valve issue? I don't want to spend too much more money than I already have on it because it is not mine but I would like to return it in a drivable state.
Thanks !
