#80 of 104 brakes to squishy by andrew82 Feb 05, 2009 (4:23 pm)
we changed the brake pads,rotars, calipers, and bleed the whole system, and the brakes are still real soft and they go all the way to the floor and dont even stop, i have had a few idea's as far as changing the master cylinder, any ideas. Replies to this message: timmer23 (Feb 05, 2009 4:40 pm)

Replying to: andrew82 (Feb 05, 2009 4:23 pm) Don't tell anyone, but I made the mistake of installing new calipers on the wrong sides one time which resulted in the brake pedal going to the floor. Just make sure the bleeder valve is at the top.
#82 of 104 89 Cherokee brake trouble!!!!!! by pjs412 Apr 21, 2009 (1:35 pm)
I recently changed a bad booster on my 89 cherokee. the master cylinder worked fine before i changed the booster so i put it back on. i bled the system until i had clean fluid at all 4 wheels, yet had little resistance on the pedal. so i installed a new master and bled the system again. still had little resistance on the pedal so i adjusted the plunger on the booster out. it now stops, but too well. the pedal is VERY sensitive so much so that the pedal doesn't travel far enough to operate the brake lights, but the pedal will still travel all the way to the floor. What do I need to try next? Replies to this message: drbrake (Aug 27, 2009 7:36 am) tuggajb (Aug 28, 2009 5:53 pm)

#87 of 104 98 Grand Cherokee back brakes drag after a complete stop by cschow1 Jun 30, 2009 (11:44 pm)
it only happens after I have been driving for a while. We have replaced both calipers and the master cylinder. Any Ideas?

Replying to: afree (Aug 19, 2007 8:36 pm) In my estimation, your over-heated brakes are being caused by sticky calipers. Many times, when you replace brake pads, this forces the internal piston seals to operate in a region that has accumulated residue (rust, sludge, etc). I have had the same thing happen on my Chevy truck. You may be able to get away with just changing pads once without this happening, but its likely you would either need to change the calipers or rebuild them with new piston seals after honing the caliper cylinders for the car's second brake job. I know this is probably getting to you about two years late, but there it is.

Replying to: kser (Apr 26, 2007 6:01 pm) whats your fluid look like, i would say on each wheel bleed the brakes, if that didnt help any then go with master cylinder. i am prosuming the abs has no codes. it sounds like the master cyclinder isnt releasing.
