GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL VEHICLE SERVICE CAUTIONS
CAUTION: At no time when servicing a vehicle, can a
sheet metal screw, bolt or other metal fastener be
installed in the shock tower to take the place of an
original plastic clip. Also, NO holes can be drilled into
the front shock tower in the area shown in (Fig. 1), for
the installation of any metal fasteners into the shock
tower. Because of the minimum clearance in this area
(Fig. 1), installation of metal fasteners could damage
the coil spring coating and lead to a corrosion failure
of the spring. If a plastic clip is missing, or is lost or
broken during servicing a vehicle, replace only with
the equivalent part listed in the Mopar parts catalog.
CAUTION: Only the recommended jacking or hoisting
positions for this vehicle are to be used whenever it is
necessary to lift a vehicle. Failure to raise a vehicle
from the recommended locations could result in lifting
a vehicle by the hydraulic control unit mounting
bracket. Lifting a vehicle by the hydraulic control unit
mounting bracket will result in damage to the mount-
ing bracket and the hydraulic control unit.
BASE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The standard brake system on this vehicle consists
of the following components:
²Double pin floating caliper disc front brakes.
²Double pin floating caliper rear disc brakes on
all wheel drive applications.²Rear automatic adjusting drum brakes.
²Master cylinder with brake fluid level sensor.
²Vacuum booster.
²Height sensing proportioning valve (non-antilock
brake applications)
²Non-height sensing proportioning valve (antilock
brake applications)
The brakes hydraulic system on both non-antilock
and antilock brake systems is diagonally split (Fig. 2)
(Fig. 3). A diagonally split brake system means the
left front and right rear brakes on one hydraulic sys-
tem and the right front and left rear on the other.

The caliper is a one piece casting with the inboard
side containing a single piston cylinder bore.
The phenolic piston is 60 mm (2.36 inch) in diam-
eter.
A square cut rubber piston seal is located in a
machined groove in the cylinder bore. It provides a
hydraulic seal between the piston and the cylinder
wall (Fig. 4).
The molded rubber dust boot mounts in a counter
bore of the cylinder bore opening and in a groove
which is machined in the outer surface of the piston
(Fig. 4). This prevents contamination of the piston
and the bore area.
As lining wears, reservoir level will go down. If
fluid has been added, reservoir overflow may occur
when the piston is pushed back into the new lining
position. Overflowing can be avoided by removing a
small amount of fluid from the master cylinder res-
ervoir.
REAR DRUM BRAKES
The rear wheel drum brakes are a two shoe, inter-
nal expanding type with an automatic adjuster screw.
The automatic adjuster screw is actuated each time
the brakes are applied. The automatic adjuster screw
is located directly below the wheel cylinder.
REAR DISC BRAKES
The rear disc brakes are similar to front disc
brakes, however, there are several distinctive fea-
tures that require different service procedures. The
single piston, floating caliper rear disc brake system
includes a hub and bearing assembly, adapter, rotor,
caliper, and brake shoes. The parking brake system
on vehicles equipped with rear disc brakes, consists
of a small duo-servo drum brake mounted to the cal-
iper adapter. The drum brake shoes expand out
against a braking surface (hat section) on the inside
area of the rotor.
This vehicle is equipped with a caliper having a 42
mm (1.65 in.) piston and uses a 15 inch solid non-
vented rotor.The disc brake caliper floats on rubber bushings
using threaded guide pin bolts which are attached to
the back side of the adapter.
The adapter and rotor shield are mounted to the
rear axle. The adapter is used to mount the brake
shoes and actuating cables for the parking brake sys-
tem. The adapter is also used to mount the rear cal-
iper. The adapter has two machined abutments
which are used to position and align the caliper and
brake shoes for movement inboard and outboard (Fig.
5).
PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM OPERATION
The rear wheel service brakes also act as parking
brakes. The brake shoes are mechanically operated
by an internal lever and strut connected to a flexible
steel cable. The rear cables and intermediate cable
are connected to the front cable by an equalizer. The
front cable extends to the parking brake foot pedal
assembly.
PROPORTIONING VALVES
FIXED PROPORTIONING VALVE
The hydraulic brake system on all vehicles is diag-
onally split. This means that the left front and right
rear brakes are on one hydraulic circuit with the
right front and left rear brakes on the other hydrau-
lic circuit.
On vehicles equipped with ABS brakes, the brake
systems hydraulic control unit (HCU) is mounted to
the front suspension crossmember on the driver's
side of the vehicle. The (HCU) acts as the hydraulic
system junction block, diagonally splitting the brakes
hydraulic system.
All vehicles equipped with ABS brakes use 2 fixed
proportioning valves. The fixed proportioning valves
are mounted in a common bracket on the left frame
rail at the rear of the vehicle (Fig. 6).

FIXED PROPORTIONING VALVE OPERATION
The fixed proportioning valve is made out of alumi-
num and has an integral mounting bracket. The
fixed proportioning valve is non-serviceable compo-
nent and must be replaced as an assembly if found to
be functioning improperly.
The fixed proportioning valve is mounted to the
bottom of the left rear frame rail, just forward of the
rear shock absorber to frame rail mounting location
(Fig. 6). The proportioning valve has 2 inlet ports for
brake fluid coming from the ABS modulator, and 2
outlet ports for brake fluid going to the rear wheel
brakes.
The fixed proportioning valve operates by allowing
full hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes up to a set
point, called the valve's split point. Beyond this split
point the proportioning valve reduces the amount of
hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes according to a
certain ratio.
Thus, on light brake pedal applications the propor-
tioning valve allows approximately equal brake
hydraulic pressure to be supplied to both the front
and rear brakes. On heavier brake pedal applications
though, the proportioning valve will control hydraulic
pressure to the rear brakes, so that hydraulic pres-
sure at the rear brakes will be lower than that at the
front brakes. This controlled hydraulic pressure to
the rear brakes prevents excessive rear wheel ABS
cycling during moderate stops.
HEIGHT SENSING PROPORTIONING VALVE
CAUTION: The use of after-market load leveling or
load capacity increasing devices on this vehicle are
prohibited. Using air shock absorbers or helper
springs on this vehicle will cause the height sens-
ing proportioning valve to inappropriately reduce
the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes. This inap-
propriate reduction in hydraulic pressure potentiallycould result in increased stopping distance of the
vehicle.
On vehicles not equipped with ABS brakes, the
brake systems hydraulic control unit (HCU) is
replaced by a junction block (Fig. 7). The junction
block is made of aluminum and is mounted to the
front suspension crossmember on the drivers side of
the vehicle in the same location as the (HCU) on an
ABS equipped vehicle. The junction block is perma-
nently attached to its mounting bracket and must be
replaced as an assembly with its mounting bracket.
The junction block is used for diagonally splitting the
brake's hydraulic system.
Vehicles not equipped with ABS brakes use a
height sensing proportioning valve. The height sens-
ing proportioning valve is mounted on the left frame
rail at the rear of the vehicle (Fig. 8). The height
sensing proportioning valve uses an actuator assem-
bly (Fig. 8) to attach the proportioning valve to the
left rear spring for sensing changes in vehicle height.
HEIGHT SENSING PROPORTIONING VALVE OPERATION
The height sensing proportioning valve regulates
the hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes. The pro-
portioning valve regulates the pressure by sensing
the load condition of the vehicle through the move-
ment of the proportioning valve actuator assembly
