Title: Mystery Brake Linkage
Post by: JohnnyPopper on August 31, 2019, 05:48:47 PM
So I'm under the C-30 and see a device that the rear brake line goes into before it splits to the two wheels.

It has a cylindrical body where a lever is attached at the center.

The lever is then connected to 90 degree arm that is fixed on the body of the axle.

I can only figure that it reacts to the rear axle flexing upon a heavy brake.

But what does it do?

It doesn't look sophisticated enough to be an anti lock system, but I could be wrong.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Primitive anti lock

I’ve bypassed em in just about every vehicle cause they never work right
