Rear brake drag/caliper failure/hose
Yes, both NAPA and Advanced house brands are Sunsong brand, they're not made right for the passenger side. Drivers hose fits pass caliper backwards but doesn't loop back the right way to feed hard line. I tried both hoses on both calipers multiple ways, they're just not made right for the...- oblivionnewtonjohn

Rear brake drag/caliper failure/hose
Same issue with Advanced/Carquest, also Sunsong brand. Seems to be manufactured incorrectly. Can I flip the banjo block and the ports for the fluid still work?- oblivionnewtonjohn

Rear brake drag/caliper failure/hose
NAPA rear hoses seem to be incorrect, can't tell which as they're not marked, but I believe it's drivers side. The lip on the banjo block won't clear caliper edge, banjoe block appears to be 1/8 too short. Found what I needed at Advanced, not my first pick but the guy was friendly, put his hands...- oblivionnewtonjohn

Rear brake drag/caliper failure/hose
Glad to hear that. He had overall good reviews with a few recent bad ones, can't make everyone happy. But they appear to be just what I need. Crazy a few Jeep wholesale parts sites show the bigger line still available for $46 but the short piece is discontinued, superseded with a part that cost...- oblivionnewtonjohn

Rear brake drag/caliper failure/hose
Lines appear to be of good quality, correct 3/8-M10 fittings, bends. Not bad for $35 shipped, made in Detroit.- oblivionnewtonjohn

Rear brake drag/caliper failure/hose
I decided to go with a new hard line setup, cheaper than sourcing parts, buying a decent flare tool, $35 shipped, will be here Friday: https://www.ebay.com/itm/192476011155 I saw some OEM on the OEM Chrysler sites, rear passenger $46 IF it really is still in stock, BUT, drivers rear was $312!!- oblivionnewtonjohn

Rear brake drag/caliper failure/hose
Awesome, thanks. My stock hard and soft lines appear to be ok to me. I will reuse for now and invest in the two products you listed to redo my lines later. I don't have time to keep running to multiple stores trying to make up lines right now.- oblivionnewtonjohn

Rear brake drag/caliper failure/hose
I got 3/16 lines per NAPA database, 8"x2, 30" and 12" with union couplings. So, what size is the end that threads to the distribution block on the axle? Because 3/16 seems a hair small, wiggles. Different thread pitch on that end?- oblivionnewtonjohn

Rear brake drag/caliper failure/hose
I have the hard lines off, rear drivers is 16" and rear pass is 42". I checked O'Reillys in which the closest they offer is 20" and 40" so too long and too short even if I get creative with the bends. Unless I make up customer length lines.....no good deed goes unpunished. I have them...- oblivionnewtonjohn

Rear brake drag/caliper failure/hose
I have the brake assembly broken all the way down/separated. I cannot get the flare nut (top) on the soft hose to turn without the hard line/flare body (bottom) wanting to twist. I have tried a vise grip on the bottom flare body, not enough room for a regular box end 16mm wrench up top to get a...- oblivionnewtonjohn

Rear brake drag/caliper failure/hose
I got rear brake hoses, gees they are hard to separate even after soaking in Kroil. I tried a flare wrench, line wanted to twist on me so I stopped, not enough room at the bottom to hold with vise grip and wrench up top. Hard lines are NLA so I am worried, how do I separate the flare nuts?- oblivionnewtonjohn

Rear brake drag/caliper failure/hose
After reviewing further, it's definitely drivers rear caliper. The rotor on that side I replaced this past summer as a set is discolored, appears to have heated up quite a bit. Smelled heavily of brake fluid though I saw no leaks. I assume piston failed and squirted out, burning up from the...- oblivionnewtonjohn

Rear brake drag/caliper failure/hose
Oh that's a given, I am mainly concerned whether the hoses need to be replaced. I'll know more tomorrow when I inspect further. As I said, I had the system flushed this past summer. Maybe it was simply a caliper piston failure and not trash in the line.- oblivionnewtonjohn

Rear brake drag/caliper failure/hose
2003 KJ Sport: On my commute home, I noticed smoke and then smelled the fluid. I get home to see the rear drivers side Jeep center cap has melted off it's mounts, lugs are super hot, rotor looks gnarly. Oddly, I notice fluid in both rear fender wells. From my brief inspection, the hoses...- oblivionnewtonjohn

Why are my inner tread scalloping after complete suspension refresh?
I pulled my archive orders to confirm if Amazon Prime, can't find the balljoints but pretty sure Amazon Prime. So wondering if old stock. I'll know more when the shop inspects and can detail what the failure was, if my install or the parts.- oblivionnewtonjohn

Why are my inner tread scalloping after complete suspension refresh?
really? I use to buy NAPA when I had my Fiero, had good results. But assumed Moog was superior which we see now is no longer the case. We'll see what the shop says and go forward accordingly. May go ahead and upgrade to the OME springs/shocks as I got the Moog springs/Bilstein shocks for...- oblivionnewtonjohn

Shame. I guess MOPAR is the way to go, who makes theirs? Crazy if this proves to be the case with less than 5K. I greased them all with quality grease but as you say, quality control seems to be the issue- oblivionnewtonjohn

Taking it to the local 4WD for inspection. He says Moog quality has gone down hill the past few years, he went through 4 sets of ball joints recently before switching to FoMoCo for his F-250.- oblivionnewtonjohn

Why are my inner tread scalloping after complete suspension refresh?
I'm just dumbfounded but I will rotate this weekend, and take to the local 4WD shop for further inspection and then depending on their findings, see if I can get Pep Boys to replace the tires if it's not of my doing. They should, I've bought two sets within the last year for our vehicles.- oblivionnewtonjohn

Not sure if you watched the video, I replaced EVERYTHING minus inner tie rods. Springs front and back, bushings, nuts, bolts etc. It was a $1500 job in parts and materials.- oblivionnewtonjohn
