I have a 92 sport and a big problem. 95% of the brake petal travel is nothing. no brake grab. no resistance whatsoever. there's maybe an inch of actual braking on the petal and its not the pads or fluid level. brake booster maybe? Help!

 

How bout rear drum adjustment. It makes a huge differents when it's out of adjustment.

 

does that also affect the front?

 

rear brake adjust ment affects the pedal height

 

yes, because they are on the same hydraulic system. If the back brakes are out of adjustment then you are sending more fluid to the back to try and get them to stop.

Also try this, with the Jeep running if you stomp the brake pedal real hard (like a panic stop situation) and it is hard but then slowly goes soft then I would almost say the booster is bad.

 

Well I would adjust up the rears till you have little resistance while spinning the wheel. And if that did not help then look for leaks on the steel lines and rubber hoses, calipers and wheel cylinders.
If those check out good then you may likely have a bad master cylinder.

 

thanks for all your help guys!

 

All good advice. ^^

Try a quick round of cracking the bleeders, won't hurt nothing. I'm thinking more hydrolics, like a possible master.

 

i hope it isnt the brake booster because i've never done one before

 

Have you found anything yet?

 

its snowing too hard right now to do anything. snow does not agree with a former SoCal boy

 

Whoa were are you? not trying to throw it But I could use some of your snow here in the north east.

 

look on the weather channel radar. you see that giant snow storm covering from the great lakes to Kentucky? right in the damn middle!

 

tocheck the brake booster proprely you pump the pedal with vechicle not running the pedal should get harder and higher with each pump when it get to the top and real hard hold pedal and start vechicle the pedal should drop some if it does its ok a bad booster will make pedal very very hard to push at all times

 

oh look at that it might hit my state anyways. lol people here are going to freak out and panic.
