brakes

Here's my status. In August ( So what, less than a year ago), I replaced: brake hoses (Crown stainless) new rotors (Centric) new AC Delco pads re-man calipers upper and lower control arms + bushings (stock) U joints (Spicer) wheel bearings (Timken) ball joints (Spicer) steering linkage(Crown...

The front break lines recently blew out on my 1999 Sport so I was going through and replacing all the steel lines. I have all of the new lines attached to the master cylinder and have the front lines attached to the brakes, but am having issues detaching the old rear lines from the brakes...

Looking at a used Dana 44 to swap into my 1998 TJ. The 44 is from a 2004 and was equipped with disc brakes. However it doesn't look like any of the brake parts come with the axle. My question is will the drum brakes from my current Dana 35C fit on the disc brake 44. I have found info that...

I've looked around online haven't found anything about rebuilding a combination valve... any insight? I haven't noticed any leaking brake components but I'm planning to pull everything apart and give it a once over. Just thought I'd ask now in case this is the issue because I'd rather rebuild...

Ok guys ..... I'm being haunted with gremlins somewhere in my brake system, and instead of throwing money at it like I have been for the past week, I wanted to run it buy a few more ears in case I'm missing something. I know we have some brake guru's in here. At some point in the past year, I...

I've seen a few threads (including the great write up that Chris did) that had guys installing extended brake lines, and their rigs had varying lift heights. Is there a certain amount of lift where extended lines are a must? I'm at 3" in the front, and 2" in the rear, and wheel with the front...

Im in the process of assembling an explorer 8.8 for the rear of my TJ and while the addition of disk brakes is nice i plan to go to substantially larger tires than the current 31's. I also plan to in the near future get a waggoneer 44 in the front. A) are there compatible OEM parts to use for an...

I have never had a problem with brakes on my 03 TJ until now. Pads have been replaced in the last year. Tonight I drive to a friends place, I'm there for maybe and hour parked on a slight incline, and when I got in to head home, my brake light on the dash is blinking and beeping at me. I assumed...

I noticed my left rear drum(98 Sport) is not as free as the left. I replaced everything a couple of months ago and have no issue in braking. My question is on adjustment to free up the drum so it matches the left drum. Could this be causing the Jeep to veer to the right when shifting gears on...

Les, a good friend of mine who I had recently helped with a rear axle swap, found that he had some pulsing in the brake pedal when he applied the brakes. We took a look at the recently installed rear drums and bled them, just in case. No help....the pulsing was still there. A week later, we...

Anyone have any suggestions on extended brake lines for a 4" lift?

When working on your TJ, it's inevitable that you'll eventually need to end up bleeding your brakes. From personal experience, I can tell you that in invaluable tool to have when bleeding your brakes is a vacuum brake bleeder such as the Mityvac MV8000 vacuum brake bleeder. If you happen to...

Once you start getting above 3" of suspension lift on your TJ, I highly suggest replacing the brake lines with longer, extended brake lines. One option you have is shelling out some money for aftermarket extended "stainless steel" brake lines. However, another option is the readily available...

Who's running Black Magic brakes and how do you like them? Any gotcha's? How long between brake jobs? Do the pads eat rotors?

Need new brakes for my 2000 wrangler. Lifted with 31s. What's the average cost for brakes? Average labor cost?

Hi guys. Have an issue with my TJ brakes. Rear wheels easy gets locked when braking especially on wet streets. Did change everything in the rear brakes (without drums) and then all this started. Did change brake fluid too and front rotors. Any ideas? Can the rear drums couse this? Tj 97 4...

I recently made a larger purchase for my 2005 Wrangler Rubicon when I ordered a the Vanco 16" big brake kit. I've never kept it a secret that I hated the stock brakes on my Wrangler, and I think if you read enough on any of the Jeep forums this seems to be the general consensus. The stock brakes...
