Car Forum / Jeep / April 2007Brake shoes
HI, I have a 1991 Jeep Cherokee Laredo. The brake shoes on the back are cracked down the middle. Also, on each side the braking surface on one shoe is very rough. Any idea what would cause this? Thanks Hal > HI, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Thanks > Hal Heat. Driving with the rear shoes adjusted too tight, driving with the Emergency brake on, or, the rear brakes sticking.

Add to that a drop of gear lube from a leaking axle seal.

Once you run out of brake fluid, the pressure on the shoe is released. ;^) Earle > Or a bit of brake fluid from a leaking cylinder > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > > > Earle Well, I have first hand knowledge that the process can take several years.

They swell and then wear weird and crack as they get used and hot. After my CJ sat for a year being rebuilt, I had to replace all the pads and shoes. They had less than a year's wear on them...
