Use only brake fluid that was stored in a tightly-
sealed container. DO NOT use petroleum-based fluid because seal
damage will result. Petroleum based fluids would be
items such as engine oil, transmission fluid, power
steering fluid etc.
SPECIFICATIONS
BRAKE FLUID
The brake fluid used in this vehicle must conform
to DOT 3 specifications (DOT 4 and DOT 4+ are
acceptable) and SAE J1703 standards. No other type
of brake fluid is recommended or approved for usage
in the vehicle brake system. Use only Mopar tBrake
Fluid or equivalent from a tightly sealed container.
CAUTION: Never use reclaimed brake fluid or fluid
from an container which has been left open. An
open container of brake fluid will absorb moisture
from the air and contaminate the fluid.
CAUTION: Never use any type of a petroleum-based
fluid in the brake hydraulic system. Use of such
type fluids will result in seal damage of the vehicle
brake hydraulic system causing a failure of the
vehicle brake system. Petroleum based fluids would
be items such as engine oil, transmission fluid,
power steering fluid, etc.
JUNCTION BLOCK
DESCRIPTION - NON-ABS JUNCTION BLOCK
A junction block is used on vehicles that are not
equipped with antilock brakes (ABS). The junction
block mounts in the same location as the integrated
control unit (ICU) does on vehicles equipped with
ABS. This allows for use of the same brake tube con-
figuration on all vehicles. The junction block is located
on the driver's side of the front suspension cradle/
crossmember below the master cylinder (Fig. 44).
It has six threaded ports to which the brake tubes
connect. Two are for the primary and secondary
brake tubes coming from the master cylinder. The
remaining four are for the chassis brake tubes going
to each brake assembly.
OPERATION - NON-ABS JUNCTION BLOCK
The junction block distributes the brake fluid com-
ing from the master cylinder primary and secondary
ports to the four chassis brake tubes leading to the
brakes at each wheel. Since the junction block
mounts in the same location as the ABS integrated control unit (ICU), it allows for the common use of
brake tubes going to the brakes whether the vehicle
is equipped with or without ABS.
NOTE: Although the brake tubes coming from the
master cylinder to the junction block or ABS ICU
may appear to be the same, they are not. They are
unique to each brake system application.
REMOVAL - NON-ABS JUNCTION BLOCK
(1) Using a brake pedal depressor, move and lock
the brake pedal to a position past its first 1 inch of
travel. This will prevent brake fluid from draining
out of the master cylinder when the brake tubes are
removed from the junction block. (2) Disconnect the battery negative cable.
(3) If the vehicle is equipped with speed control,
perform the following: (a) Disconnect the battery positive cable.
(b) Remove the battery (Refer t o 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/BATTERY - REMOVAL). (c) Disconnect the vacuum hose connector at the
tank built into the battery tray. (d) Remove the screw securing the coolant filler
neck to the battery tray. (e) Remove the battery tray (Refer t o 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/BATTERY SYSTEM/TRAY - REMOVAL). (f) Remove the fasteners and move the speed
control servo off to the side, out of the way.
CAUTION: Before removing the brake tubes from
the junction block, the junction block and the brake
tubes must be thoroughly cleaned. This is required
to prevent contamination from entering the brake
hydraulic system. (4) Remove the four chassis brake tubes from the
top of the junction block (Fig. 44). (5) Remove the primary and secondary brake
tubes from the top of the junction block. (6) Remove the bolts attaching the junction block
mounting bracket to the front suspension crossmem-
ber (Fig. 44), then remove the junction block.
INSTALLATION - NON-ABS JUNCTION BLOCK
(1) Install the junction block and mounting bracket
on the front suspension crossmember (Fig. 44).
Install the mounting bolts and tighten to a torque of
28 N´m (250 in. lbs.). (2) Install the primary and secondary brake tubes
from the master cylinder in their ports. Tighten tube
nuts to a torque of 17 N´m (145 in. lbs.). Take care
not to twist tubes when tightening tube nuts.
They must be properly positioned to allow free
movement with rubber isolated suspension
crossmember.

FLUID (Continued)

CAUTION: When replacing a master cylinder, be
sure to use the correct master cylinder for the type
of brake system the vehicle is equipped with.The body of the master cylinder is an anodized alu-
minum casting. It has a machined bore to accept the
master cylinder pistons and threaded ports with
seats for the hydraulic brake line connections. The brake fluid reservoir is mounted on the top of
the master cylinder. It is made of a see-through
polypropylene type plastic for easy fluid level view-
ing. A brake fluid level switch is attached to the
brake fluid reservoir. The master cylinder is not a repairable component
and must be replaced if diagnosed to be functioning
improperly. The brake fluid reservoir and brake fluid
level switch can be replaced separately.
CAUTION: Do not hone the bore of the cylinder as
this will remove the anodized surface from the bore.
DESCRIPTION - RHD
The master cylinder used on right hand drive
(RHD) vehicles functions similarly to that used on
left hand drive (LHD) vehicles. The RHD master cyl-
inder, as well as the RHD power brake booster, is
located in the same area, but lower in the engine
compartment than LHD models (Fig. 46). For that
reason an extension manifold is placed between the
fluid reservoir and master cylinder housing allowing
the fluid reservoir to be positioned in the same loca-
tion as on LHD models.
OPERATION
When the brake pedal is depressed, the master cyl-
inder primary and secondary pistons apply brake
pressure through the chassis tubes to the brakes at
each tire and wheel assembly. The master cylinder primary outlet port supplies
hydraulic pressure to the right front and left rear
brakes. The secondary outlet port supplies hydraulic
pressure to the left front and right rear brakes.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - MASTER CYLINDER
BLEEDING
CAUTION: When clamping master cylinder in vise,
only clamp master cylinder by its mounting flange.
Do not clamp master cylinder piston rod, reservoir,
seal or body.
(1) Clamp master cylinder in a vise.
NOTE: Use correct bleeder tubes when bleeding
master cylinder. Master cylinder outlet ports vary in
size and type depending on whether master cylin-
der is for a vehicle equipped with traction control or
not. Traction control equipped master cylinders
require the additional use of ISO style flare adapt-
ers supplied in Special Tool Package 8822 to be
used in conjunction with Bleeder Tubes, Special
Tool Package 8358. (2) Attach special tools for bleeding master cylin-
der in the following fashion: (a)For non-traction control equipped mas-
ter cylinders , thread a Bleeder Tube, Special Tool
8358±1, into each outlet port. Tighten each tube to
17 N´m (145 in. lbs.) torque. Flex bleeder tubes and
place open ends into mouth of fluid reservoir as far
down as possible (Fig. 47). (b) For traction control equipped master
cylinders , thread one Adapter, Special Tool
8822±2, in each outlet port. Tighten Adapters to 17
N´m (145 in. lbs.) torque. Next, thread a Bleeder
Tube, Special Tool 8358±1, into each Adapter.
Tighten each tube to 17 N´m (145 in. lbs.) torque.
Flex bleeder tubes and place open ends into mouth
of fluid reservoir as far down as possible (Fig. 47).
NOTE: Make sure open ends of bleeder tubes stay
below surface of brake fluid once reservoir is filled
to proper level. (3) Fill brake fluid reservoir with Mopar tbrake
fluid or equivalent conforming to DOT 3 (DOT 4 and
DOT 4+ are acceptable) specifications. Make sure
fluid level is above tips of bleeder tubes in reservoir
to ensure no air is ingested during bleeding.

If runout is in excess of the specification, check the
lateral runout of the hub face. Before removing the
rotor from the hub, place a chalk mark across both
the rotor and the one wheel stud closest to where the
high runout measurement was taken. This way, the
original mounting spot of the rotor on the hub is
indexed (Fig. 85). Remove the rotor from the hub. NOTE: Clean the hub face surface before checking
runout. This provides a clean surface to get an
accurate indicator reading.
Mount Dial Indicator, Special Tool C-3339, and
Mounting Adaptor, Special Tool SP-1910, to the steer-
ing knuckle. Position the indicator stem so it contacts
the hub face near the outer diameter. Care must be
taken to position stem outside of the stud circle, but
inside of the chamfer on the hub rim (Fig. 86). Hub runout should not exceed 0.03 mm (0.0012
inch). If runout exceeds this specification, the hub
must be replaced. (Refer t o 2 - SUSPENSION/
FRONT/HUB / BEARING - REMOVAL)(Refer to 2 -
SUSPENSION/REAR/HUB / BEARING - REMOVAL) If the hub runout does not exceed this specifica-
tion, install the rotor back on the hub, aligning the
chalk marks on the rotor with a wheel mounting
stud, two studs apart from the original stud (Fig. 87).
Tighten nuts in the proper sequence and torque to
specifications. Recheck brake rotor runout to see if the runout is
now within specifications. (Refer t o 5 - BRAKES/HY-
DRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTOR - SPECIFICA-
TIONS) If runout is not within specifications, reface or
replace the brake rotor. (Refer t o 5 - BRAKES/HY-

Minimum allowable thickness is the minimum
thickness which the brake rotor machined surface
may be cut to.
CAUTION: Do not machine the rotor if it will cause
the rotor to fall below minimum thickness.
Before installation, verify the brake rotor face and
the hub adapters are free of any chips, rust, or con-
tamination. When mounting and using the brake lathe, strict
attention to the brake lathe manufacturer's operating
instructions is required. Machine both sides of the brake rotor at the same
time. Cutting both sides at the same time minimizes
the possibility of a tapered or uneven cut. When refacing a rotor, the required TIR (Total
Indicator Reading) and thickness variation limits
MUST BE MAINTAINED. Extreme care in the oper-
ation of rotor turning equipment is required. Specifi-
cations for brake rotor machining can be found in
this section's specification table. (Refer to 5 -

PARKING BRAKE
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The parking brake system is operated by a foot
operated parking brake lever. The parking brake
lever is mounted on the body of the vehicle to the left
of the brake pedal (Fig. 94). It is a automatic-adjust-
ing type lever. The vehicle has four flexible steel parking brake
cables. They are: ² Front
² Intermediate
² Left rear
² Right rear
The front parking brake cable extends from the
parking brake lever. A steel equalizer bracket con-
nects the front parking brake cable to the left rear
and intermediate cable. The intermediate cable is
connected to the right rear cable using a parking
brake cable connector. On vehicles equipped with rear drum brakes, the
rear service brakes also act as the vehicle's parking
brakes. Vehicles equipped with rear disc brakes use a
small duo-servo brake assembly mounted to the each
rear disc brake caliper adapter as the parking brake.
The inside of the brake rotor (hat section of drum-in-
hat style brake rotor) is used as the parking brake
drum.
DESCRIPTION - EXPORT
The parking brake system on this vehicle features
a hand-operated parking brake lever. The lever is
located between the two front seats and requires a
special front cable.
OPERATION
The automatic-adjusting feature in the foot oper-
ated parking brake lever continuously applies mini-
mal tension to the parking brake cables when the
parking brake lever is in the released position to
keep them in adjustment at all times. Due to this
feature, the parking brake cables require no periodic
adjustment. When the parking brake lever is applied, the
cables are pulled, thus applying the brake shoes
(rear drum brakes) or parking brake shoes (rear disc
brakes) at each rear wheel. The brake shoes are mechanically operated by an
internal lever and strut connected to the rear park-
ing brake cables. An equalizer bracket is used at the rear end of the
front parking brake cable to distribute tension
equally to each parking brake cable.

CHANICAL/DISC BRAKE CALIPERS - REMOVAL).
(4) Remove rotor from hub/bearing.
NOTE: When measuring the brake drum diameter,
the diameter should be measured in the center of
the area in which the park brake shoes contact the
surface of the brake drum. (5) Using Brake Shoe Gauge, Special Tool C-3919,
or equivalent, accuratelymeasure the inside diam-
eter of the park brake drum portion of the rotor (Fig.
137). (6) Using a ruler that reads in 64th of an inch,
accurately read the measurement of the inside diam-
eter of the park brake drum from the special tool
