Adjustable rear brake delay valve?

- Eric

 

Looks like a proportioning valve but the steering knuckle looks odd to me....

 

Control arm/bushing/missing rear bolt/ something screwy there thing?
I had to use Locktite because I got tired of seeing mine loose, or lost.

 

The A frame is sliding back off the bushings and separating from the shaft.

X-2 on that.

The intermediate steering shaft looks funky. Should the seal be stretched that much? If you squint a little the shock looks like a little dude peering around the upper control arm. He appears to be laughing at you.


Cheers, Mike

Oops. double post, dang.

 

the control arm looks like it is missing a bushing and shifted towards the firewall.

 

And the bolt is rubbing the steering shaft.
He could have bent the oil tube back
a little. I bet r/r is fun.

 

Serious A frame issue. The nice part is you caught it now, easy fix.

 

Ya. The A-arm bushings are gone. Looks like someone tried to compensate for the alignment with a 'spacer' & shim on the rear cross shaft bolt.

Not unheard of. My bushings were toast when I parked mine. There were stacks of shims in it to compensate. Although, the shims didn't help with the occasional unexpected slight lane change!

Hopefully the shaft & arm are still OK & you can just R&R the bushings....

 

"What wrong here?"
============
Well, to begin with, verb missing. :-)
English bad.

In the photo I see rubber CA bushings are GONE. That wrong here.
Blue paint entirely filling head of steering bolt also wrong. A factory ck mark would be a quick dab; they have other cars coming.

Unsealed yellow butt splice

Unfused 12V wires rubbing on sharp edges and whatnot.

Rust on booster?

[grasping at straws now]
#8 heads in use?

 

Haha you guys crack me up. But yes Greg was correct. I had a noise when I would my foot off the brake after a decent stop. The rear upper bushing is completely gone and found the shaft bolt/washer sitting on the frame! As a result the A arm is shifting to the rear out of forward bushing. So no driving this one for awhile.

Octania- yes I fat fingered the title. Lol

The brake booster n adjustable pressure valve are compliments of inline tube installed by previous owner. Have to call about warranty since leaking.
Blue paint know nothing about and yes the wiring needs looked at.

#8 heads = a smog motor but I have plans to remedy that. :-)
