So tonight I break out the drop light and some tools and prepare for the wonderful task of replacing the brake shoes on this old '86 MJ.
I get the wheel off and as I'm being disgusted by the shape of the rear brakes (they look like those undersea pics of the Titanic. All rusty, and corroded. They look kinda organic in shape. Maybe this truck has been in the water before... ) and I spy this curious looking device. I can't find it in the Haynes manual. I ran outta time so I didn't get a chance to trace the lines.
So what the heck is this:
It looks like some sort of proportioning valve, but there looks to be one line going in and one coming out. And I have no idea what that arm with the little ball(as in teeny ball joint?) on the end of it would be for.
I'm sure I'll feel stupid when someone tells me what it is, but right now I'm perplexed.
