According to the "stealers" proportioning valvves don't goo bad, yet there
is a back orderon them no matter what style vehicle you ahve.
I ended up taking one froma 98 that had been rolled and replacing it on my
95, exact same part, never changed. Brakes were hella better afterwards...
Now its time to get these shit autozone pads off...
