- This week we are going to being preforming some brake maintenance on the 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ. Today I will be working on the rear drum brakes and showing you how to adjust, clean and lubricate. In this video I will show you the whole job from start to finish. If you would like a more in depth drum brake instructional video, make sure to check out the link below. If you have any questions that the video does not cover, make sure to leave them below.

Got my right rear drum sticking perfect timing for this video! Although I'm a mechanic it's always good to see a channel doing the same thing and seeing if you have any new ideas I haven't thought of
Why um?so many um? Uh?s
First video in new garage 🙌🤙
Thanks I recently changed all the brake lines (since it was all rusted and one of the lines broke) drums, shoes and cylinders and now I need to adjust the drums
Lotsa good practical tips. Nicely done!
You’re knowledge is always great buddy
Drum brakes get a bad wrap but they've gotta be one of the most neglected items on a vehicle. Ive got 11 inch drums on all 4 corners of my 76 CJ5. Manual no vacuum assist. It stops great.
I agree, they're not that hard to work on if you take your time and have everything ready before hand. But most people dont tackle them till they are completely shot giving them the bad wrap.
Good work mate 👍🤝
Great video Austin, Thank you.
Good work
My right rear brakes is too sensitive when I push slightly the brakes. It blocks the wheel and releases when I let go the brakes. It only does that the first 3 to 5 times I push the pedal. What could it be? I have XJ with 1992 dif dana 35. Thank you
I go over that scenario at 9:00, but it's due to the shoes being out of adjustment and moisture will build up on the brake dust and/or create a light surface rust layer on the drums causing them to catch easily the first few brake applications.
@@OutJeeping Yes. I saw your comment and I will definitely look into that. I'm not sure it will be the cause because I change all the springs and adjusters but I will take more attention on that. If you remember any other possible cause, let me know. I really appreciate your videos. Good work!
I would still try to adjust them with the star adjustment screw on the bottom. I had the issue with this Jeep right before I did this video and now it doesn't seem noticeable after it rains. But it is a very common issue with drum brakes, I have had it happen on all drum brake vehicles I've owned.
Спасибо 👍
Thanks bud
Yes Austin fix it
Good video. Can the adjuster be turned back if you go too tight?
Great video! Also have you ever done a video on adding front and back metal off-road bumpers?
I don't have a video on that yet but I plan on it for this jeep coming up soon.
How about going into the vacuum system? I haven't found very much information on the vacuum system, especially as how it works the front 4x4 system.
Good idea, I'll look into it.
A. bit off topic here, My 78 J10, its time for a new steering stabilizer.
Any Pro/Con info on what is a known good quality one?
Looked for Bilstein yet couldn't locate that brand for it.
I would think the OEM like single cyl setup, is probably good enough for my street rig with stock tires/rims etc.
thx
EDITED:
Found this 33-174525, on Amazon.
So Still looking into this, to see if its proper fit for my 78 J10.
Yeah I would stick with a single cylinder steering stabilizer, no need to wear out the power steering prematurely. I would also recommend Bilstein. You may be able to get away with various lengths in stabilizers because you are able to adjust the mounting bracket on the tie rod. You would want to be the same length as the original stabilizer or longer. Shorter then you will run into issues.

thx for reply here.
A few more questions as I realized I'm not 100% certain about all needed new parts , their aggregate final geometry.
My plan is to use a Bilsteins front stabilizer, else it's a Rancho piece.
Second, I spoke to a Rep at the 4WD shop, he claimed Bilsteins on my rig are almost impossible to get a proper fit with the 3" lift kit.
Then lastly the "Sway bar links', need to be different or longer too.
I understand the needs for sway bar to ride near level or slightly tilt down backward for bind or invert pivot flip reasons.
BJ's has several ones. a 1.25" Longer set for $60.00 they claim Will work properly on a 4" lift scenario, and the other longer link set for $155.00 with quick removal pins (not sure their actual length).
Any feedback to clear up these points would be appreciated.
As I currently am thinking , the 1.25" longer Links are adequate with the RC 3" lift kit installed, and the Bilsteins #5215 (should) work too. If not, Rancho is second choice on the corners.
Not sure the ride with the shocks the RC have that are in the kit..
What I intend is, install lift kit, then road test and see how things operate, then perhaps do an under side video GOPRO and see what occurs and decide if an offset pitman arm is really needed.

Just bought 98 xj having headlight issues with Amazon specials
What type of issues?
@@OutJeeping well they worked perfectly fine on my buddy’s jeep but when I flick high beams one goes off and one stays on so idk what’s going on
@@ryryk6977 I would check the connection with the H4 connector on the back of the light and make sure there isn't any corrosion build up. Also swap the lights and see if the issue is with the lights or the Jeep harness side.
@@OutJeeping do you mind if I dm on ig it’s easier
@@OutJeeping I tried another harness I think it was faulty harness
Lost me when he used vise grips instead of a spring tool.
