I checked for this specific question...
Do 1989's have brake proportioning valves? I'm assuming that the units with the front and rear brakelines coming out of it is the PV...
I can't find a part number! I've checked Kragen, Autozone and Napa online and they say there's no part(?). Surely there a proportionig valve!?
Anyway...a little history:
The brakes have been almost no-existent since I started working on this Jeep (I inherited it). I finally got to the brake system and WOW....
The front rotors and pads looked pretty good but the rears were totally hashed. The drums were scored 1/4" deep from the shoes which were almost gone....I've never seen such bad metal to metal....
It looked like the front's weren't working at all (or VERY little) and the rears were doing all the work. My father in law was in pretty bad shape with cancer so he might not have notice how bad his brakes were that last year...
Anyway, I replaced my rotors & pads, drums & shoes/hardware and bled all the old fluid out. The brakes are still super mushy and the idiot light comes on as I apply the brakes. It doesn't feel like the fronts are working to well but I can't really tell...I would assume that the proportionong valve had gone south....but I can't find a part number.
Is the proportioning valve integrated into the MC?
