Got a couple questions.

1] i have no brake power in the rear. I'm not sure why but it takes alot for my jeep to slow, and my parking brake doesnt work what so ever. I checked the pad on the shoes, and the drum its self looks fine, but still im not getting any brake. any one got an answer for me?

2] I want to replace all my bushings. what brand/material should i go with?

start at the master cylinder and open the cap, any fluid?
check for any leaks/wet spots, check the rear backing plates, are they wet? possible rear wheel cylinders leaking?
brake valve....proportioning thing, located most likely at the firewall below the master cylinder....possible. or inside the master cylinder-seal let go and is feeding fluid past the piston.

hope this helps.

Moog bushings are a great OEM replacement. You can get them at your local Auto parts store or online at places like summitracing.com.

Do they sell them in a complete set?, are those stock spec? do you know of any other after market brand that perform better?

The only complete sets I know of are Prothane Bushing kits.
