This past week I put new Napa Premium rotors, new calipers, and safety stop pads. Bled the system and all is great....or so I thought. Driving around the Jeep stops great. I can almost lock up the tires when I do a quick stop for 45mph. It stops way better then it did before.
Here are the specs:
99xj
31" MTRs
armor and heavier bumpers.
Here is the problem:
Was running Broken Arrow in Sedona,AZ this past weekend and when I got to the steps (steep part of the trail) I had my foot to the floor and pushing the brake pedal as hard as I could and it still would creep foward in 4 low. The trail is easy but when you come to that and have no way to stop it does make it interesting.:shocked: I had to pull e-brake to give me more stopping power and then it barely helped.
I did adjust the rear shoes after I did the front brakes as well.
So what is the problem? Master Cylinder? Or is this the norm? I have already checked the brake booster check valve and it appears to not be leaking. If you pump the brakes up and then start the Jeep the pedal goes down so that indicates the brake booster is working.
Thanks!
