POWER BRAKES
GENERAL INFORMATION
All vehicles, except non turbo charged AP bodies,
equipped with manual transmissions use a 205 mm
tandem booster. The non turbo charged manual trans-
mission equipped AP body application use a 230 mm
non-tandem booster. The purpose of the vacuum operated power brake
booster. Is to reduce the amount of force applied to the
brake pedal by the drivers foot. To obtain the required
hydraulic pressure in the brake system to stop the
vehicle. The power brake booster can be identified if required,
by the tag attached to the body of the booster assembly
(Fig. 1). This tag contains the following information.
The production part number of the power booster
assembly, the date it was built and who manufactured
it. The power brake booster assembly is not a
repairable part and must be replaced as a com-
plete unit if it is found to be faulty in any way.
The power booster vacuum check valve is not
repairable but can be replaceable as an assembly. The power brake booster is vacuum operated. The
vacuum is supplied from the intake manifold on the
engine through the power brake booster check valve
(Fig. 2). As the brake pedal is depressed, the power boosters
input rod moves forward. This opens and closes valves
in the power booster, creating a vacuum on one side of
a diaphragm and allowing atmospheric pressure to enter on the other. This difference in
pressure forces the output rod of the power booster
out against the primary piston of the master cylin-
der. As the pistons in the master cylinder move for-
ward this creates the hydraulic pressure in the brake
system. Different systems and engine combinations require
different vacuum hose routings.

WHEEL BEARINGS
FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS
Front wheel drive vehicles are equipped with per-
manently sealed front wheel bearings. There is no
periodic lubrication or maintenance recommended for
these units. However if during servicing of the brake
system, service to the front wheel bearing is required
refer to Group 2, Suspension in this service manual.
REAR WHEEL BEARINGS
NORMAL SERVICE
The lubricant in the rear wheel bearings should be
inspected whenever the hubs are removed to inspect
or service the brake system. Or at least every 30,000
miles (48,000 km). The bearings should be cleaned
and repacked with a High Temperature Multipurpose
E.P. Grease whenever the disc brake rotors are re-
surfaced.
INSPECTION
Check lubricant to see that it is adequate in quan-
tity and quality. If the grease is low in quantity, con-
tains dirt, appears dry or has been contaminated
with water, it will appear milky. The bearings then must be cleaned and repacked.
Do not add grease to
a wheel bearing that already has grease packed
in it. Relubricate completely. Mixing of different
types of greases in wheel bearings should be
avoided since it may result in excessive thinning
and leakage of the grease.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
For the servicing, removal and installation of the
rear wheel bearings follow the procedure listed below. (1) Remove the rear tire and wheel assembly.
(2) On rear disc brake equipped vehicles remove the
caliper and rotor. Support the caliper out of the way.
Do not allow the caliper to hang by the hydraulic
hose. See disc brake section in this group for caliper
removal procedure. (3) Remove grease cap, cotter pin, nut lock, nut,
thrust washer and outer wheel bearing. (4) Carefully slide hub or drum from spindle. Do not
drag inner bearing or grease seal over stub axle
(thread, bearing, and oil seal may be damaged.) Using
an appropriate tool remove the grease seal and inner
bearing from the drum or hub. Discard grease

and inner bearings, bearing cups and hub cavity (See
Fig. 1). To clean bearings, soak them in an ap-
propriate cleaning solvent. Strike the flat sur-
face of the bearing inner race against a
hardwood block several times. Immerse the
bearings in solvent between the blows to jar
grease loose and wash old particles of hardened
grease from bearings. Repeat this operation un-
til bearings are clean. Bearings can be dried
using compressed air but do not spin the bear-
ings. After cleaning, oil the bearings with engine
oil. Insert the bearing into its appropriate cup,
apply pressure to the bearing while rotating it to
test them for pitting and roughness. Replace all
worn or defective bearings. If bearing shows signs of pitting or roughness they should be
replaced. Bearings must be replaced as a set,
both the cup and the bearing need to be replaced
at the same time. If bearings are suitable for
further use, remove engine oil from bearings
using appropriate solvent and dry bearings. Re-
pack the bearings using a Multi-Purpose NLGI.
Grade 2 EP Grease such as Mopar or equivalent,
and place them in a clean covered container
until ready for installation. If a bearing packer is
not available, hand pack grease into all cavities
between bearing cage and rollers. (6) If bearings and cups are to be replaced, remove
cups from the drum or hub using a brass drift or
suitable remover. (7) Replace bearing cups with appropriate installing
tool. (8) Install inner bearing in grease coated hub and
bearing cup, and install new grease seals using the
appropriate seal installer. (9) Coat hub cavity and cup with grease.
(10) Before installing hub or drum assembly, inspect
stub axle and seal surface for burrs or roughness, and
smooth out all rough surfaces. (11) Coat the stub axle with Multi-Purpose NLGI,

the stub axle. Do not drag seal or inner bearing
over the threaded area of the stub axle. (13) Install outer bearing, thrust washer and nut.
(14) Tighten the wheel bearing adjusting nut to 27 to
34 N Im (240 to 300 in. lbs.) while rotating hub or drum
assembly. This seats the bearings. (15) Back off adjusting nut 1/4 turn (90É) then
tighten adjusting nut only finger tight. (16) Position the nut lock over the bearing adjusting
nut with one pair of slots in line with the cotter pin hole
in the stub axle, and install cotter pin. (17) Install the grease caps and the wheel and tire
assemblies. Tighten wheel stud nuts to 115 N Im (85 ft.
lbs.) on all models. reinstall wheel covers if so
equipped.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
is to prevent wheel lock-up under heavy braking con-
ditions on virtually any type of road surface. Anti-
Lock Braking is desirable because a vehicle which is
stopped without locking the wheels will retain direc-
tional stability and some steering capability. This al-
lows the driver to retain greater control of the
vehicle during heavy braking.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM DEFINITIONS
In this section of the manual several abbreviations
are used for the components that are in the Anti-
Lock Braking System They are listed below for your
reference.
² CABÐController Anti-Lock Brake
² ABSÐAnti-Lock Brake System
² PSIÐPounds per Square Inch (pressure)
² WSSÐWheel Speed Sensor
NORMAL BRAKING SYSTEM FUNCTION
Under normal braking conditions, the ABS System
functions much the same as a standard brake system
with a diagonally split master cylinder. The primary
difference is that power assist is provided by hydrau-
lic power assist instead of the conventional vacuum
assist. If a wheel locking tendency is noticed during a
brake application, the system will enter Anti-Lock
mode. During Anti-Lock braking, hydraulic pressure
in the four wheel circuits is modulated to prevent
any wheel from locking. Each wheel of the vehicle
has a set of electrical solenoid valves and hydraulic
line to provide hydraulic modulation. For vehicle sta-
bility, though both rear wheel valves receive the
same electrical signal. The system can build, hold or
reduce pressure at each wheel of the vehicle. This is
determined by the signals generated by the wheel

by the wheel speed sensors (WSS) at each wheel and
received at the Controller-Anti-Lock Brake (CAB). The ABS system represents current state-of-the-art
in vehicle braking systems. The ABS system offers the driver increased safety and vehicle control during
hard braking. This is accomplished by a sophisticated
system of electrical and hydraulic components. That
differ from conventional vacuum boosted hydraulic
actuation systems. Because, there are several perfor-
mance characteristics that may at first seem differ-
ent but should be considered normal. These
characteristics are discussed below. More technical
details are discussed further in this section.
PEDAL FEEL
The ABS System uses hydraulic power assist for
both normal power assisted braking and to provide a
source of high pressure hydraulic fluid during Anti-
Lock Braking. In general, pedal feel will be similar
to that of a conventional vacuum boosted brake sys-
tem. If during an Anti-Lock stop additional force is
applied to the brake pedal, or the brake pedal is re-
leased and reapplied rapidly. The driver may notice a
very hard pedal feel. This is due to normal isolation
of the master cylinder during A.B.S. operation as
wheel brake pressure is fed from the hydraulic
booster.
ANTI-LOCK OPERATION
During Anti-Lock Braking, brake pressures are
modulated by cycling electric valves. The cycling of
these valves can be heard as a series of popping or
ticking noises. In addition, the cycling may be felt as
a pulsation in the brake pedal, although no pedal
movement will be noticed. If Anti-Lock operation oc-
curs during hard braking. Some pulsation may be
felt in the vehicle body due to fore and aft movement
of the vehicles suspension as brake pressures are
modulated. Although ABS operation is available at virtually
all vehicle speeds. It will automatically turn off at
speeds below 3 to 5 mph. Therefore wheel lock-up
may be perceived at the very end of an Anti-Lock
stop and should be considered normal.
TIRE NOISE & MARKS
Although the ABS system prevents complete wheel
lock-up, some wheel slip is desired to achieve opti-
mum braking performance. During brake pressure
modulation, as brake pressure is increased, wheel
slip is allowed to reach up to 30%. This means that
the wheel rolling velocity is 30% less than that of a
free rolling wheel at a given vehicle speed. This slip
may result in some tire chirping, depending on the
road surface. This sound should not be interpreted as
total wheel lock-up. Complete wheel lock-up normally leaves black tire
marks on dry payment. However, Anti-Lock Braking
will not leave dark black tire marks since the wheel
never reaches a locked condition. Tire marks may
however be noticeable as light patched marks.
