This is why reading with the lights off is not good, you tend to miss the important parts;p

Sorry I had to. My guess is a kink in a brake line, and turning is allowing pressure to escape, or not get passed the kink. Check your brake fluid levels then look at all your brake lines

"or not get passed the kink." -> "or not get past the kink."

Sorry, I had to.

The only way you're gonna find what you're looking for is to GO LOOK!

Around the Jeep that is. In these parts, we call it "noggin pokin".

That's where you use your God given senses to inspect YOUR Jeep for problems. We can only provide you with guidance as to where to poke your noggin.

There's no Silver Bullet cure you're gonna find from a keyboard, mouse and monitor.

That's OK I am mildly dyslexic and rely on spell check.At least I used a proper word and not some jumble of letters that the computer couldn't make sense of
