I was out playing today... and damn if the never ending badluck struck again.

my front brakes locked up.... *(sticking) thought it might of been a wheel bearing but ruled that out.

took off both calipers, and each side... the inner brake pads were both cracked (?)

the piston goes out on both, but appears to stick and not re-tract.

and what the @#%! hell is the deal with ABS brakes? can i dis-able them?

could they have caused the problem... still not sure whats up? my guess would be pistons in the calipers, but both at once / same time going bad?

something to do with the ABS system? why would it stick / hold the front brakes?

I'm baffeled..... anyone??????????? thx, Rich

going to poke around on the web at some jeep tech sites, but figured i ask here too... alright... I'm going to go say my hail mary's.

The pistons do not retract on there own.

The calipers are toast, replace them.
 
Yup what he said ^ Why waste your time turning something into a headache, get a set of calipers pads and be done.:corn:
