'93 sport 4.0 aw4 np231 8.25 6.5"lift 33's
i got around to replacing the brake shoes on the 8.25 today in hope that it would fix my
spongy feeling brakes. it did not.
a little history. i traded a hand gun for this jeep about a year ago. it had quite a bit of front end damage. i thought that the unibody might have been tweaked and figured if nothing else i could use it as parts. at best i could rebuild it and wheel it. well, ive rebuilt it and have been driving it everyday now since finally fixing the DW a few weeks ago.
the brakes are weak. the pedal has had alot of travel. i thought i might just need to bleed the brakes. i did so when i upgraded to the longer chevy brake lines last week. i bled them till the fluid came out with no sputtering.
the pads have plenty of material left. new shoes today and hardware kit.
i noticed that the calipers have a very tiny amount of play. i thought that the 2 bolts might not be tight all the way and i ended up braking a bolt trying to make the calipers feel like the were tight all the way like on my '95.
when i brake hard i hear a repeated knocking sound comming from the passenger rear area. no carpet so i hear it clearly. the knocking frequency reduces with speed.
what am i missing here?
