AIGroup Regular Date registered: Sep 2008 Location: Albany, NY Vehicle(s): 1986 230GE Cabriolet Posts: 58 | Not sure what this is for but I'm sure it's not working Was investigating a fuel leak behind the fuel tank and noticed this part mounted on the frame and which is completely rusted. There 2 hydraulic line attached to the body of the part, so I assume this is brake or differential related? There's an arm that's not connected. I am very much a newby to hydraulic issues so thanks in advance for the education.

And with it being disconnected it doesn't adjust the pressure. I don't haul anything in the truck, but in case I want to put the regulator back in working order - I would order the assembly from MB? Or has anyone had any success with rebuilding this monster? | ||

And with it being disconnected it doesn't adjust the pressure. I don't haul anything in the truck, but in case I want to put the regulator back in working order - I would order the assembly from MB? Or has anyone had any success with rebuilding this monster? As weight is added to the back of your 460, the rear springs compress and the body is closer to the axel, #56 moves the linkage ending at #5 rear brake proportioning valve. As vehicle weight increases more brake pressure is allowed to go to the rear brake drums. I just reconditioned most of my linkage and replaced #5. I believe there are different rods and springs for different configurations and spring colors. EuroTruck was my parts source. Matt | ||
