Metering Valve

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