Running axles from 1976 CJ5 under my 1981 CJ8. Brakes have worked fine for 7 years. Drums felt warped. Replaced shoes and rotated drums from rear to front and front to rear. Had little stopping power. Decided to swap drums to their original placement to see if this was causing problem. Still very little braking coming from front brakes[img:4f7848ee66]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/257591_Picture_001_1.jpg[/img:4f7848ee66]. Rears will lock up if I stomp pedel in sand. Pedel feels the same as it always has. What is my problem?
