Just got my jeep a week ago and was going thru the truck today. Noticed the pistons on my calipers only touch the pads about 2/3rds of the way. I searched and only one thread with no answers came up. Here is a picture of what it looks like.



Uncertain if the calipers are from a different year XJ and aren't working right or what. Any answers are appreciated. I can tell it affects braking some and don't want to drive it until this is solved. Just doesnt make sense because everything seems to be right and where it should be except this. Thanks very much.

 

Yea..... That's normal.

 

Ok thanks, I've read its not and it is, wasn't sure which

 

well my 89 is the same way. has been for 60k+ miles and 2 sets of pads i have put on it.
and seen it on many other rigs.

 

Cool, feel better about it now, thanks
