Metering Valve

Valve holds off hydraulic pressure to front disc brakes to allow rear drum brake shoes to overcome return spring pressure and begin to contact drums. This feature helps prevent locking front brakes on slippery or icy surfaces under light braking conditions. Valve has no effect on front brake pressure during hard braking conditions.
