D22 2WD Rear Brake pressure valve

[roscoe07]

I am building a mini truck for my 16yo son out of a 97 D22. I have lowered it 64mm (whatever the blocks were) and noticed the other day in the rain the back brakes locked. I assume that is because the car load sensing valve thinks the car has weight on and is applying too much pressure to the back wheels. My manual does not show the valve or how to adjust it. Does anyone have a diagram?

I have gone through the brake and suspension section of the 1997 D22 workshop manual and can't see any mention of a load sensing valve like the D40 has.

I think we need someone who has one to help us out!

Iv been told they do have them. My rear brakes are f@#ing useless. Yes they're drum brakes. But got worse after 3inch lift. I was told my brake bias proportioning valve needs adjusting. I thought most utes have them

It needs adjusting after any lift not sure about the 2wd here is an old thread

The D22 has a spring and an adjustable valve similar to my D40. The D40 has a diagram in the door so when i lifted mine 2 inches i just reset the valve. Simple. However my D22 does not have that diagram and no mention in the manual.
If you lift the normal thing was just lift the valve as well the same amount or adjust the valve.
I have lowered this D22 so i suppose I should drop the bracket and not worry about trying to adjust the valve. Does that make sense?

Yeah makes sense. Worth a go mate

I looked at this problem and decided that as the valve had really dropped 60mm them i had to lower the spring mount for the valve the same amount. In the end i just remover the bracket that the spring attaches to and attached the spring to the mount of the bracket. So in effect the spring is not pulling on the valve at all. Brakes work fine.

I don't really know the answer to adjusting this valve.
