Hi,
On both my TJ and TF the brake height is about 130mm and 140mm where it should be >165mm.
Also on both cars, with the engine running I can push the brake pedal all the way to the end.
I can't find anything wrong and have bled the brakes on the TJ with no change.
I have tried pumping the brake, pressing them quickly, pressing them gently for a while ... all behave normally.
It has enough braking to stop abruptly, haven't tried to lock the wheels yet.
Is this normal? I have never had a car before where I could press the pedal to the end unless there was a problem, but this doesn't have any other symptoms. All I can think of doing is overhauling the master cylinder.
Thanks
