When you press the brake there are two motions. One is the piston pushing out of the caliper and inner pad into the rotor. The second is the outer part of the caliper sliding into the rotor. This creates a pinch to the rotor. If the slides are dry and or frozen only one side is gripping. You...

Vac looks ok. What changed you said you idled at or above 1k rpm? What you describe first pump stiff second solid but not stopping still sounds like a crimped hard line or failing rubber line. When you bleed it, it bleed normal? No slow flow?? Never look down on anyone unless you are...

Sry been traveling. So when you bleed the brakes do you do the pump and hold method? If so do you see the caliper clamping the pads to the rotor? Did you grease the slide pins? Does this symptom occur when bleeding? Did all wheels bleed the same? None were slower or more pedal resistance to...

Sorry i didn’t think of this earlier. Vac bleeders often pull/draw/suck so hard it pulls air around the threads of the bleeder into the caliper that it looks like you have air in the lines. I use the siphon bottle to catch the fluid that is pumped out. Never look down on anyone unless you...

I see it this way. You must be able to stop and steer before you could go. So redoing the brakes is a good investment. I’ve done it several times to get good touchy brakes. Never look down on anyone unless you are helping them up - Jesse Jackson

You dont need/want to empty the system just exchange the fluid. Siphon the old fluid out of the reservoir. Fill with new fluid. Then go to your driver side, closest tire, open the bleeder valve and push the piston flush to the caliper. This pushes out most of the old fluid. Shut the valve and...

It is not about the fluid in the reservoir. It’s about what’s in the lines in the caliper. You cannot see water in the fluid because it mixes the fluid. Brake fluid should be swapped out completely every few years because it was moisture. Yes, it’s still could be your break. But you should idle...

Take a picture of the steering components from the front of the jeep and post them. If your neighbor is an ex mechanic, you should be able to do your alignment with a tape measure. Have him inspect under the jeep while you move the steering wheel left to right with the engine off. He should...

The jeep is a TJ. Which is 97-06.if the key dance works it is newer than 2000. Never look down on anyone unless you are helping them up - Jesse Jackson

Air fuel and spark. The ckp could be the issue if the vehicle has no spark. You may or may not have a code. Did you check the codes. Never look down on anyone unless you are helping them up - Jesse Jackson

That made me chuckle. Never look down on anyone unless you are helping them up - Jesse Jackson

You mean CKP. CPS is apart of the distributer or on the OPDA. CPK is usually on the bell housing and reachable from underneath. Never look down on anyone unless you are helping them up - Jesse Jackson

Idle should be 750 rpm. Does rpm drop when applying brakes? It shouldn’t. But dropping rpm when applying brakes is a sign of failing booster. You may have a vac leak causing high rpm and robbing some boost from the brake booster. You need to get them all bleed. It is not a bad idea to change...

I would think if they replaced the engine some of this was moved or disassembled. Also be sure the correct pulley sizes are used and you have the correct vac pressure when running. What RPM do you idle at? Never look down on anyone unless you are helping them up - Jesse Jackson

Yes on rubber lines. Last section attached to caliper. I had one fail and acted like s check valve. Would not release pressure and wore out a set of pads. Brake lines that run from the master cylinder to the rubber lines. Some go behind engine or over the trans. Places they could get squished...

First inspect all the lines and make sure they are not crushed. Then do a full bleed at each wheel. Replacing all the fluid while bleeding. Inspect pads for even wear It sounds like either a damaged line or the rubber lines gone bad. Never look down on anyone unless you are helping them...

As noted above: Inspect wiring for damage. If your engine rocks that much when starting or accelerating it could short a wire. It is time to change engine and transmission mounts. As I tell my kids: Nothing good happens after midnight. The 2a.m. To 5 a.m. is guaranteed sus activity. Never look...
