A real NOOB Brake question
OK so the PO did a Brake JOb on my 89xj..
I think one of the front caliper is on backwards..
The Driver side Caliper the brake line is at the bottom
The Passenger side the brake line is at top of caliper..
Which one is set up wrong are caliper marked Left and Right??
Sorry for stupid question but I have been looking online and am unable to find the answer
Thanks Brad

Welcome to the Cherokee Forum!
X2 Usually the hose and always the bleed screw are at the top. Its not a stupid question if you search first, just a simple one.
Where in Snohomish county are you neighbor? I've seen 3 or 4 other newbies within a stones through of me in the last couple days.

Bought new Calipers new Master cylinder..
I have bleed the snot out of and have no brakes I was able to pump them up and get it to stop .. But now it goes to floor and does not stop..
I am at a loss, now I have a squealing sound from front of engine ..
Maybe bad belt or water pump or frozen AC pump IDK..
Any help would be great
thanks

Chinese parts maybe...
Good Luck!
I put a rebuilt master cylinder on my '01 XJ. In driving 350 or so miles in about 10 days, the brakes were working perfectly. Last night, my wife took the Jeep to do some shopping. At the first stop sign, the brake pedal went to the floor. She got it stopped in the middle of the intersection. Lucky no traffic was going thru at the same time! I got the Jeep home and took apart the master cylinder. The rear lip seal had cracked and separated from its base about 1/3 of an inch. I wouldn't have thought that was possible if I hadn't seen it. I went to the parts store where I bought the part, and they were as pissed as I was. They told me the rebuilder was A1 Cardone in PA. Beware!
