hi
  wanted  to  know   what   does  this   thing  made   for  -  and  where  do  you   install  it?

could you give a close up?

here  it  is   close  up :

My guess.
The rear track bar relocater?
Calmini didn't address this?
Go figure.

That thing has to do with the brakes.
my kit included that too.... but i didnt use it cause i was just fine....  having ABS.
Aaahh  ...... i don't really know the specific word to name it

but if ur car (like mine) has ABS unit, i think that u dont need it.
If you dont have ABS, u need it i think.
The work that this thing has to do, is to lower the position of the central brake unit.


Sorry for my english and hope u ll understand 

anyone with a better explanation please???   

have fun!!

thanks
i  dont  have  ABS  system
 
  i  think  i  understand   the  use  of  this, 
 but   do   sombody  have   pics - of  the  location  he  installed  it?

 

I,m not sure......   but i think that the brake unit must be in the rear place under the car, somewhere near the rear axle.

Yeah, I'm not sure either but if it's the dohickey I'm thinking of it should be on the body or frame over the rear axle.  Probably some sort of a lever mechanism as well.

It sounds like you guys are talking about a RWAL (Rear Wheel Anti Lock) unit Load Sensing Proportioning Valve.  It's actually a load-sensitive pressure-limiter.  An arm is attached to the rear suspension, and moves a lever attached to the unit.  Look for it attached to the frame, just in front of the rear trailing arm, on the right.  It's used on First Gen which don't have ABS, maybe on 2nd Gen without ABS as well?

(Edited to correct error in the name)

  i  looked  again  in  the  installation -instructions  -  and found  nothing   

even in  calmini's  site  -{where  they   sell  the sk19800 - look  at  the  picture } nothing about  it  ,and  it  seems  that  it's   not  included  in  the  kit  nowdays  anymore .
 
IanL ,  do  you   have  pics    of  that  ?
  my  vit   is  menual  and  without  the  ABS   -so  i  geuss  i  have  to  install it  .

from  your  description  i  anderstood  that  this  part  its  important  for  the  type  off vit  that i  have -grand vitara -model 03  1.6L  3doors  manual gear.


do  someone  have  pictures  of  this  installed ?  :'(

sherifon, do you have this thing?

Just wondering what the worry is.

if  i   would'nt  have  this   part  -  i  would  have  nothing to  worry  about -
becouse  now  i  know  that  i  have this " spare"  part   that need  to  be  fit     somewhere !
 


reminds  me  that  when  i  fix  something  -i  allways  get  some  spare  parts left .....

Ah, I was curious.  Didn't know you had purchased the Calmini kit.  Last I knew you were looking to peice a kit together.
Looking at that peice I'd say that it should be pretty self explanatory if you can locate the load sensing dohickey on your truck.

The funny part is I know aircraft mechanics who have said that.

yes   i  purchesed   2 hand kit { by  luck }.
  i  replied  to   an  add  that  was  on  the   :http://newyork.craigslist.org/pts/


and  the  guy  there   was  very  cool    and  we   got  the  deal  done  .

now    what   is  the "load sensing dohickey "?       


mean while  i'll  look  in  the  fsm.


thanks  AJMBLAZER   -you  are  very  helpfull

load sensing dohickey =  the item that the bracket should lower (we think)



In case my slang didn't translate dohickey is a slang word for thing, thingamabob, whatsit, the thingy, etc.  When you don't know the proper name of an item that's a word some people use.
