Are those drum or disc brakes?

Plan to install new proportion valve for back drum brakes not sure what is best manufacturer for those. Also not certain how critical those are have heard some different opinions about how well those work.

New vented rotors for front disc brakes may be better investment than proportioning valve, old one failed and was bypassed by mechanic.

That failed?

With all the junk I’ve driven, and its been a lot, I don’t believe I’ve ever had one fail, how do you even know?

Huhwhut?

How the hell do you bypass it?

You sure you’re not being taken for a ride?

Didn’t know at first until mechanic figured out that was what was causing slow leak that fluid level would drop below red line over about a month.

He just removed the valve and connected the two lines directly.

Can get quote for new one at Les Schwab, talked to them last week and they recommended replacing everything in the whole break system because of the bypass may have caused new problems, but hope that isn’t necessary. Drum cylinders, front calipers, and main cylinder have all been replaced recently in the past few years.

The old rubber hoses should be replaced but they are so rusted stuck haven’t been able to remove them to put new ones in can try again with better wrenches.
