Brake proportioning valve
What would happen if I connected the left rear brake lines without the proportioning valve? It broke and my dad'* dumba$* thinking ruined it.

My Forester is like totaled and I apparently don't have rental car coverage. In the meantime I really wanted to fix this '93 Lesabre of a friends thats sitting out here so I'd have something to drive

so if the check valve was bypassed, there would be no difference at all, untill a leak occured.

My bad, but yes, a '93 Lesabre Limited
What good does this check valve do? I'm tempted to not put it back if it really isn't a proportioning valve.

i thought of skippin mine one time it was leaking. i just figured they put it on for a reason, so i got a JY one.
im not really sure of the purpose to be perfectly honest.
