Mystery Brake Linkage
« 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!

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Primitive anti lock

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