proportioning valve question
« on: May 07, 2011 - 11:16:39 AM »
I am redoing entire brake system.  Replaced master cylinder/booster, lines,  calipers, and wheel cylinders.  My question is should i also replace the proportioning valve?  Is there and moving/wear parts in there?  Or should i just clean/detail the old one and reuse????

If it was me, I'd change it out with a Wilwood adjustable prop valve.

Or something like it. :2cents:

I used the wilwood valve. Works great so far! :2thumbs:
If your buying rear wheel cylinders use the truck ones ( Raybestos rear wheel cylinders WC37236 ) They prevent rear wheels from locking up before the fronts.
See this post? Hope that helps?
