This move has freed up room for "cab-forward" design and a lower hoodline. CC has, therefore, mounted the hydraulic assembly on its newer vehicles ('96 minivan, Neon, Cirrus/Stratus, LH, Jeeps) on the crossmember at the bottom of the engine compartment. The hydraulic assembly (the "guts" of the system which builds and releases brake pressure when ABS is invoked) is a separate assembly and can be mounted remotely from the master cylinder's traditional location on the driver's side of the firewall. The Bendix 4 system and other ABS systems which CC is currently using in production, use a SEPARATE master cylinder and vacuum-operated booster which are similar to, but not identical to, the units found in non-ABS vehicles. Other brake systems manufacturers, such as Bosch and ATE, also sold their own design one-piece ABS systems to a variety of domestic and European auto manufacturers. This design type was more or less the industry standard in the mid to late '80s when the Bendix 9 and 10 were developed. They do not have a separate master cylinder or vacuum-operated booster as we would know them from non-ABS vehicles. Smith writes: The Bendix-10 system and the very similar Bendix-9 (optional on '89-91 Cherokee) are basically a "one-piece" system.

If your warranty has not been previously voided by a mechanic you can get many repairs done for free at any Jeep dealer. Because the people at Jeep know the system was a bad design there is a LIFETIME WARRANTY on certain parts of the system.

A new transmission is cheaper than a new car and life. If in a panic stop with an automatic transmission, use Reverse.

On many vehicles the emergency brake is foot operated don't go crazy with this brake, a light touch is best, slow down gradually. It has a mechanical connection and is not related to your normal brakes (though it uses the same shoes on some cars, they are activated by a cable rather than by a fluid).

Try pressing down harder you might have just lost your power assist.Be careful to fully depressurize the system before adding or changing brake fluids. Use only the brake fluid the manufacturer recommends - silicone based fluids often may not be used (using the wrong fluid may destroy the entire system - at your expense!). Marv Miller suggests replacing the brake fluid every 2-4 years, as many European carmakers recommend. Nor do they dramatically reduce stopping distances on good pavement. Leave safe distances between you and the next car and remember that no ABS system is infallible.
