HMUSN · January 13th, 2008, 09:35 PM

00redgt · January 13th, 2008, 09:43 PM

00redgt · January 13th, 2008, 10:03 PM

00redgt · January 13th, 2008, 11:14 PM

I assume your talking about the proportioning valve and no. The seperates the front from the back, so your driver side would be doing the same thing. Did you replace the cradle as well? If not make sure your caliper pins are well greased as well.
