1996 camery station wagon , 4 wheel disc brakes. need to replace brake lines in the rear. what is the name of the junction block , with the actuator in the rear? All 4 rear lines go to and leave this...
Hello, first you Toyota has dual braking system. It goes like this: Left front
brake with right rear brake, the right front brake with left rear brake. This a
braking safety system that has been incorporated in auto/trucks for a few years
now. If brake line is broken. loose wheel caliper, blow caliper piston, any
thing that happens to the brake system. You will still have two wheels that have
their hydraulic system. Also, the emergency brake will a manual system for the
rear wheels.
Why do you need to change your auto brake lines? That valve you are talking
about is a load stabilizer valve. It used to limit the amount of hydraulic fluid
as more load is place in the rear of your Toyota. Example. by press on the brake
pedal, it activates hydraulic pressure to the four wheel disk braking system.
The braking system needs to stabilize the hydraulic pressure to the wheel to
keep the vehicle moving in a forward motions. Now, by loading the rear of the
vehicle this transfer the load disposition of the vehicle by making it heaver in
the rear. Therefore, the load compensator valve limit the amount of hydraulic
pressure to the rear brakes.
Another thing to remember about this rear load valve, they will get plugged.
and the vehicle will not have enough braking pressure for the rear wheels. I
hope I answer you question about this load portion valve in the rear of Toyota.
