Why Brake Valve Matters and Reasons

  The brake valve manufacture is a key part of your brake system. It’s responsible for ensuring that brake force is properly applied when you step on the brake pedal. If it doesn’t work, your car will not slow down as expected. This problem requires immediate attention.

  Here’s how a brake valve works and how to determine if yours needs to be repaired.

  IT’S ALL ABOUT BRAKE PRESSURE

  Each time you press on the brake pedal, there are four wheels that need to be slowed. It might seem like they all respond at the same rate, but equal pressure can’t be applied to all the wheels at once because it would cause the rear wheels to lock up.

  The brake valve controls the pressure between your front and rear brakes to make sure a rear lock up doesn’t happen. It does this by regulating the amount of pressure that goes to your rear brakes. Those brakes still engage when you press the brake pedal, just with less force than your front brakes. This ensures smooth and even stopping every time.

  SIGNS OF A PROBLEM

  The biggest symptom of a failing brake valve is your rear wheels locking up when you apply the brakes. This might be something you feel, or you might hear it if the rear wheels squeal when they lock up.

  One way to test for this problem is to find an empty parking lot or flat surface and ask a friend to watch your car from a safe distance as you make a few medium-to-hard stops. If the rear wheels lock while the front wheels keep spinning, then the problem is confirmed.
