WJ front brakes

FernXJ · Feb 28, 2004

I'm about to put together WJ knuckles and brakes. I haven't seen or heard of anyone needing to reproportion their flow. I've already installed rear TSM.
I remember reading about a restriction washer in the Prop. valve that can be removed.
Just looking to see how everyone has been getting along with their low pedal.
TIA,Rensing

i have wj front brakes, master and booster and ZJ rear brakes. It behaves fine with just the o-ring removed from the prop valve.

Did you use the hub from the WJ or your XJ? I looked into this and found that the stock XJ hub needs a spacer in order for the U-joint to be in the same plane as the knuckle.

Any problems with yours?

Thanks,

AARON

hey !!! I just spent an hour searching for the answer the wj spindle swap question. So will the wj spindle swap onto an xj? ball joints the same?
Gotta fix my steering.

the knuckles bolted right up (ball joints are the same). I did use the weld-on .25" spacer from ORGS and a 2000 TJ bearing/hub. IIRC, the later XJ hubs are the same as TJ hubs... but I'm not positive

Mark Hinkley has some great info here: http://www.orgsmfg.com/project/WJKnuckle.htm

Thanks for the info. on the proportion valve! If all goes well I'll have them all on in a week or so.
Thanks again, Rensing
