tckcumming Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Good morning all, I just had the rear brakes on my '93 ES300 serviced (new rotors, pads, one new caliper). While the car was on the lift, I noticed that the brake proportioning valve attached to the rear suspension is broken. The valve itself is fine, but the link attaching the valve to the rear suspension arm is broken at the bottom. The plastic "joint" has cracked and the link is just hanging from the little spring, not attached to anything. I'd like to know - how important is this thing? My brakes seem to work fine (my ABS light on the dash has been on for some time, but I think it's a separate issue - a bad wheel speed sensor in front, according to my local Toyota dealer). I know the dealer will tell me to replace it - at a cost of $???$. Bottom line - I really don't want to spend any money fixing this proportioning valve if it's not going to make any difference to the braking of my car. Anyone have any experience with this??

SKperformance Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I would find out how expensive it is to get the parts from a wrecker whihc may be cheap. You already know what it is but if the parts don;t move normally it will eventually seize and may cause other problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
