Brake contraption

on Mazdas I usually come accross this brake valve over the rear axle. I usually move is 6" back by redoing a couple lines. But it looks like ass. What does everyone else do?

it's the load sensing proportioning valve. you can remove it completely.

i took mine off, no problems. If you follow the lines it's pretty easy. I had a post on this around a year ago, i'd search for it.

found it!

The one in your previous thread looked like it had an electrical connection? ABS or something?

My 86 has a valve out back which I just moved to behind the notch.

So you guys say I can remove it hey? My truck doesnt have ABS.

This wont change the rear bias or anything will it, like causing rear lockups etc?

I've done a crap load of mazda trucks, allways talken them out. I've never noticed a difference. I'm sure if you are loading it down, or pulling a big trailer it might, but I pulled a 16' car hauler with a ex-cab s10 on it without problems.

excellent! we were just wondering what to do with mine, now i know!

Trash it.
