knever3 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 My '87 Comanche had a problem today, the Right Front caliper locked up. I tested it by jamming on the brakes and it pulled to the Left HARD. It was pulling to the Right when driving to alert me before hand. I replaced the caliper today and test drove it again after bleeding. Still pulls to the left, but not as much obviously. The entire brake system was new when I rebuilt the truck. New '96 MC and booster, new brake lines, new hoses, new calipers, pads and rotors, deleted rear load sensing valve. It is a '93 Cherokee Dana 30. The ONLY thing that has been burning in the back of my mind (for years) is when I flared the Right Front hard line the I feel I did not reem the ID of the tubing. Maybe it is enough of an obstruction to inhibit flow. Thoughts? Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 well, this certainly wouldn't be the first instance of a new part failing prematurely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Pins greased up? Maybe some mud in guide pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I would say bad rubber hose or bad left side caliper or guide pins, just because the left side is grabbing doesn't mean it's working correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchamakalit Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 We just had a similar issue with a fairly new (within 2 yrs) caliper on a friends excursion. New caliper solved our problem. Not saying its yours but wouldn't say its impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
