Brakes hiss with pedal 3/4 down
Hi guys,
I've got an 89 Cherokee Limited with the 4.0. The brakes are less than perfect and i have bled them twice with no improvement. Tonight i was driving with the radio off and i could hear a hissing noise under the dash with the brake pedal 3/4 the way down. if i let up or push them to the floor the hissing stops. It only hisses around 3/4 the way down. Could it be a leaking booster? The pedal doesn't seem hard to push but i know the brakes could/should be better. What do you think.

WARNING! this will disable the power assist on your brakes so be aware that you will need to press on the pedal MUCH harder to stop!
