PROPORTIONING VALVE
DESCRIPTION - PROPORTIONING VALVE
(HEIGHT SENSING)
NOTE: Only vehicles without antilock brakes (ABS)
have a proportioning valve. Vehicles with ABS uti-
lize electronic brake distribution which is controlled
through the ABS integrated control unit.
Vehicles not equipped with ABS use a height sens-
ing proportioning valve. It is mounted to the body of
the vehicle above the rear axle (Fig. 91). It has an
actuator lever that attaches to the rear axle and
moves with the axle to help the valve sense the vehi-
cle height.
CAUTION: The height sensing proportioning valve
is not adjustable. No attempt should be made to
adjust it. It is replaced as a complete assembly.
CAUTION: The use of after-market load leveling or
load capacity increasing devices on this vehicle are
prohibited. Using air shock absorbers or helper
springs on this vehicle will cause the height sens-
ing proportioning valve to inappropriately reduce
the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes. This inap-
propriate reduction in hydraulic pressure potentially
could result in increased stopping distance of the
vehicle.

tem. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES - BASE - STANDARD
PROCEDURE).
(5) Lower the vehicle to the ground.
(6) Road test the vehicle to verify proper operation
of the brake system.
ROTOR
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE ROTOR
Any servicing of the rotor requires extreme care to
maintain the rotor within service tolerances to
ensure proper brake action.
Excessive runout or wobble in a rotor can increase
pedal travel due to piston knock-back. This increases
guide pin sleeve wear due to the tendency of the cal-
iper to follow the rotor wobble.
When diagnosing a brake noise or pulsation, the
machined disc braking surface should be checked and
inspected.
BRAKING SURFACE INSPECTION
Light braking surface scoring and wear is accept-
able. If heavy scoring or warping is evident, the rotor
must be refaced or replaced. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/
HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTORS - STAN-
DARD PROCEDURE).
Excessive wear and scoring of the rotor can cause
improper lining contact on the rotor's braking sur-
face. If the ridges on the rotor are not removed before
new brake shoes are installed, improper wear of the
shoes will result.
If a vehicle has not been driven for a period of time,
the rotor's braking surface will rust in the areas not
covered by the brake shoes at that time. Once the
vehicle is driven, noise and chatter from the disc
brakes can result when the brakes are applied.
Some discoloration or wear of the rotor surface is
normal and does not require resurfacing when lin-
ings are replaced. If cracks or burned spots are evi-
dent, the rotor must be replaced.
ROTOR MINIMUM THICKNESS
Measure rotor thickness at the center of the brake
shoe contact surface. Replace the rotor if it is worn
below minimum thickness or if machining the rotor
will cause its thickness to fall below specifications.
CAUTION: Do not machine the rotor if it will cause
the rotor to fall below minimum thickness.
Minimum thickness specifications are cast on the
rotor's unmachined surface (Fig. 93). Limits can also
be found in this section's specification table. (Refer to
5 - BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTOR -
SPECIFICATIONS)
ROTOR THICKNESS VARIATION
Thickness variation in a rotor's braking surface
can result in pedal pulsation, chatter and surge. This
can also be caused by excessive runout in the rotor or
the hub.
Rotor thickness variation measurements should be
made in conjunction with measuring runout. Mea-
sure thickness of the brake rotor at 12 equal points
around the rotor braking surface with a micrometer
at a radius approximately 25 mm (1 inch) from edge
of rotor (Fig. 94). If thickness measurements vary
beyond the specification listed in the specifaction
table (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/HYDRAULIC/MECHAN-
ICAL/ROTOR - SPECIFICATIONS), the rotor should
be refaced or replaced. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/HY-
DRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTORS - STANDARD
PROCEDURE).

If the hub runout does not exceed this specifica-
tion, install the rotor back on the hub, aligning the
chalk marks on the rotor with a wheel mounting
stud, two studs apart from the original stud (Fig. 98).
Tighten nuts in the proper sequence and torque to
specifications.Recheck brake rotor runout to see if the runout is
now within specifications. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/HY-
DRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTOR - SPECIFICA-
TIONS)
If runout is not within specifications, reface or
replace the brake rotor. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/HY-
DRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTORS - STANDARD
PROCEDURE)
STANDARD PROCEDURE - BRAKE ROTOR
MACHINING
NOTE: Refacing the rotor is not required each time
the brake pads are replaced, only when the need is
foreseen.
Any servicing of the rotor requires extreme care to
maintain the rotor within service tolerances to
ensure proper brake action.
If the rotor surface is deeply scored or warped, or
there is a complaint of brake roughness or brake
pedal pulsation, the rotor should be refaced using a
hub-mounted on-car brake lathe (Fig. 99), or
replaced.
The use of a hub-mounted on-car brake lathe is
highly recommended to eliminate the possibility of
excessive runout. It trues the brake rotor to the vehi-
cle's hub and bearing.
NOTE: All rotors have markings for minimum allow-
able thickness cast on an un-machined surface of
the rotor (Fig. 100) (Fig. 101). Minimum thickness
specifications can also be found in the specification
table in this section. (Refer to 5 - BRAKES/HY-
DRAULIC/MECHANICAL/ROTOR - SPECIFICATIONS)

Minimum allowable thickness is the minimum
thickness which the brake rotor machined surface
may be cut to.
CAUTION: Do not machine the rotor if it will cause
the rotor to fall below minimum thickness.
Before installation, verify the brake rotor face and
the hub adapters are free of any chips, rust, or con-
tamination.
When mounting and using the brake lathe, strict
attention to the brake lathe manufacturer's operating
instructions is required.
Machine both sides of the brake rotor at the same
time. Cutting both sides at the same time minimizes
the possibility of a tapered or uneven cut.
When refacing a rotor, the required TIR (Total
Indicator Reading) and thickness variation limits
MUST BE MAINTAINED. Extreme care in the oper-
ation of rotor turning equipment is required. Specifi-
cations for brake rotor machining can be found in
this section's specification table. (Refer to 5 -
