zj brakes
« on: July 04, 2009, 11:38:25 AM »
 I have just changed the front and rear brake pads on my '98 4 litre grand, taking it on a test drive I could smell something burning, I stopped and there was a lot of smoke coming of the back wheels, they where cooking, the fronts were very hot as well. I have never had this problem when I have fitted pads to other cars that I owned including my xj. Lighthouse supplied the pads, they matched o.k. would welcome any help with this matter.
 Cheers :010:

Only thing i can think of is sticking calipers.Maybe got a some crud on the pistons and when you pushed them back the crud got behind the seal and is now causing them to stick on.Could be completely wrong of course,but i cant think of anything else that might cause it
