yup, i second this... if it's something like a rusty brake line, it's a pretty easy fix. most auto shops carry flared lines that you just have to screw together in place of the old ones! hopfully this is your only problem.

so here's what happened to mine.... turned out the adjusting wheel came off and was floating around in my rear brake drum. therefore, when i pushed the pedal, the rear brakes would use all the fluid to move because they were so out of adjustment due to the wheel being broken off. the wheel...

my master is all metal/rust.... non see through... is there any other way to tell if that's the problem? i think it might be... but would that explain the brakes being really hot in the front?.... i assume possibly they were the only ones working properly.. therefore heating up because they...

so from that i'm thinking master cylinder... the fluid level is fine, i'm gonig to jack it up and see about the calipers seizing. the rear wheel cylinders are brand new a year ago, along with pads, shoes, rear springs in the drums and all brakelines.... thanks for the info!

i'm bringing this thread back from the dead because this just recently just happened to me..... my question is.... i reached up between the rad and the engine, grabbed the rod that goes across the hood and the passenger side popped up no problem, and i hear that the driver side is easy to pop...

my driver side front coil does that too... not as bad as yours... but still... i was told it's definetly because my control arms are too short, pulling the axle back with the lift, causing the spring to look bent.... my buddy has an 8" lift on his Tj and his springs in the rear were like that...

yep, i ran that setup for a year before i threw in more lift! not even ANY rubbing! i LOVED IT! :D :thumbup:

awesome! thanks for all the info guys!

i did a quick search and didn't come up with anything.... if i were to put a little ATF in my engine for the detergents, how much do i put in with an oil change?! and what kind? (does it matter) also... i bought the wrong ATF fluid for my tranny.. it says to use mercon/dextronII , or mopar...

mine did that about amonth ago... i thought fer sure it was my tranny... it was the TPS! sooo easy to change too! :cheers:

AWESOME replies guys! sweet pics too.. i was just concerned because of the unibody that the XJ just wouldn't hold up to it... like the body would be REALLY twisted.... i've been close a couple of times! but it's my daily driver so i need it to get to work/school on monday all the time...
