diff spacer and proportioning valve???s
« on: April 20, 2006, 12:55:53 PM »

When installing a rear diff. spacer is there any effect on the brake proportioning valve located on the diff. beside the rear ball joint mount?  93 geo 2door tracker

No, if it's the LSPV attached to the upper Y arm,
this is one reason I built the diff spacer.

Hey Wild thanks for the response.  What about when it's mounted to the diff., will the spacer effect the valving or will it simply correct for the effect of the already dropped diff. from the suspension being increased?

I can make the spacer fit, I'm only concerned with effects on braking.

Thanks

It will only fix the braking proportioning if
it's attached to the arm, not the diff.  If you
need to fix a diff attached adjustment, you
would need to lengthen the rod on the arm.

I don't think the 93 Track/Kick is attached to
the diff , I think it's the same as on the earlier
models, unless you have ABS, then no LSPV
