COMPENSATOR VALVE

These valves are mounted between the master cylinder and the rear brakes and are designed to equalize the braking across the front and rear wheels. As you hit the brakes the weight of the car will be thrown forward on to the front wheels causing the front to need more braking pressure to stop them. The harder you brake the more the valve will limit the pressure on the rear brakes in order to minimize rear wheel lockup.
