Talking Brake repair truism

When you get a new to you jeep with a leaky or bad master cylinder, rest assured that after replacing it, the wheel cylinders will blow making a hair raising emergency stop behind an 18 wheeler.


Just saying


This is a public service announcement.
No jeep was hurt in the research of this factual statement.
However the driver had to be given a bottle of Jack IV STAT for him to unlock his leg from brake pedal and release the death grip on the steering wheel.

Yeah once one of the rubber bits in a brake system fails you can pretty much bet the remaing rubber bits are in a similar condition.

True indeed all of the above. And I've chilied myself a couple of times in verifying such truth.
