Hello,
I have a '98 4.0L UpCountry with ABS, 106,000 miles.
I've only had it for 10K and it's time for new brakes.
It feels like I'm pushing down on a 2x4 and the pads and discs show they need replacing.
My question is:
What are the "signs" that a brake booster has gone bad??
I am well aware of what happens when a master cylinder goes bad and I do not think that is what's happening. I get constant pressure requiring no pumping, but it has "horrible" sensitivity as well as it requiring way too much pressure at the pedal. It feels very sluggish and slow. The ABS works great, though.
Thanks for any input from other owners out there.
Steve
