Two Wheel Drive Models

Jeep, Type 2 Front Brakes, 2WD:

The disc brake is of the sliding caliper, single piston design. All models are equipped with either an integral type hub and rotor or a two piece hub and rotor. Although caliper designs differ in construction, operation and service procedures remain the same. The caliper is a one-piece casting containing a piston, piston bore, bleeder screw and inlet ports. A rubber dust boot with integral metal retainer is used on all models except 1980-81 CJ models, which use a solid rubber boot. The dust boot is positioned in a counterbore machined in the upper edge of the piston bore and in a groove machined in the exterior surface of the piston.

Lining wear is compensated for by the lateral sliding movement of the caliper and by increased piston extension.
