What is that???? is it ok to CUT it out to put in a new section of brake line????????
My back right brake line went, there is a thingy that looks line its just a joint that can be cut out. im just going to splice in a new section cuz i cant aford a whole new line

Pretty sure its a proportioning valve...you should definately leave it in.

Wow, you have some wicked rust under your bonnie. Maybe you should have all you lines replaced to be safe.

proportioning valve..you need it....

yes..you can fix lines..

You need to search on flare or double flare

uuummm you sure its proportioning valve? cuz i said screw it cuz i need the car for wor tomarow and there was no way to remove the line from it, so my dad and cut thesection of the rusted bad line out and flared the ends and stuff and put it back together.

If it was a proportioning valve then it wasn't doing anything cuz i got up to 35-40 and slamed on the brakes and it stoped straight....


HHhhmmmm Did i just screw my brakes up???? or sense its stops fine i should be ok????

Bandit
Please do not throw that part away see if you can blow through it.

I just don’t understand why GM put a proportioning valve to just the right rear brake.

Bandit...Call my house today and have Pat look it up in his book.

I think it'* a valve..but heck..it could be a thingeemabobber.

I have one on each side. Mine are getting pretty bad. I wanted to spray it down with anti rust penetrant, but then it might soften the rust up and with my luck would blow.

Bandit, I would replace that part just to avoid any future problems you may have.

yes they are proportioning valves. they are on both rear brake lines. yes you need them.

I have 2 in my tool box. But they are about 30 bucks to buy new.

That is right where my brake line burst was.

if they are proportioning valves how come my braking didn't change? just wondering?

Bill: ill call to dubble check

Rob: i will stop by advacned and see if they sell them.

im also going to see if i can get the lines off the old ones so i can maybe just use that.
