HYDRAULIC BRAKE TUBES AND HOSES
CAUTION: When installing brake chassis lines or
flex hoses on the vehicle, the correct fasteners
must be used to attach the routing clips or hoses to
the front suspension cradle. The fasteners used toattach components to the front suspension cradle
have an antiÐcorrosion coating due to the suspen-
sion cradle being made of aluminum. Only Mopar
replacement fasteners with the required anti-corro-
sion coating are to be used if a replacement fas-
tener is required when installing a brake chassis
line or flex hose.
Only double wall 4.75mm (3/16 in.) steel tubing
with Al-rich/ZW-AC alloy coating and the correct tube
nuts are to be used for replacement of a hydraulic
brake tube.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with traction control,
the primary and secondary hydraulic tubes between
the master cylinder and the hydraulic control unit
are 6 mm (15/64 in.). These tubes are also coated
with the Al-rich/ZW-AC alloy and must be replaced
with tubes having the same anti-corrosion coating.
Be sure that the correct tube nuts are used for the
replacement of these hydraulic brake tubes.
Care should be taken when replacing brake tubing,
to be sure the proper bending and flaring tools and
procedures are used, to avoid kinking. Do not route
the tubes against sharp edges, moving components or
into hot areas. All tubes should be properly attached
with recommended retaining clips.
If the primary or secondary brake tube from the
master cylinder to the ABS Hydraulic Control Unit
(HCU) or the brake tubes from the HCU to the pro-
portioing valve require replacement,onlythe origi-
nal factory brake line containing the flexible section
can be used as the replacement part. This is required
due to cradle movement while the vehicle is in
motion.

tion of the vehicle's brake system.
PARK BRAKE CABLE ADJUSTMENT
The park brake cables on this vehicle have an
automatic self adjuster built into the park brake
pedal mechanism. When the foot operated park brake
pedal is in its released (upward most) position, a
clock spring automatically adjusts the park brake
cables. The park brake cables are adjusted (ten-
sioned) just enough to remove all the slack from the
cables. The automatic adjuster system will not over
adjust the cables causing rear brake drag.
Due to the automatic adjust feature of the park
brake pedal, adjustment of the parking brake cables
on these vehicles relies on proper drum brake and
park brake shoe adjustment. See Rear Brake Adjust-
ment and Park Brake Shoe Adjustment in the Ser-
vice Adjustments Section in this group of the service
manual.
When the park brake pedal is applied the self
adjuster is by-passed and the pedal operates nor-
mally to engage the park brakes.
When a service procedure needs to be performed on
the park brake pedal or the park brake cables, the
automatic self adjuster can be manually locked out
by the service technician.
PROPORTIONING VALVE (HEIGHT SENSING)
Proportioning valve actuator adjustment will be
required if there is a complaint of premature rear
wheel lockup and the front and rear brake shoe lin-
ings checked OK during inspection, the height sens-
ing proportioning valve required replacement, or
there is a complaint of excessive pedal effort and the
vacuum booster and brake pedal checked OK. Make
sure the proportioning valve and the mounting
bracket are firmly attached to the vehicle. Then, pro-
ceed with the following procedure to perform the
adjustment of the actuator.(1) Raise vehicle. Vehicle is to be raised and sup-
ported on jackstands or with a frame contact type
hoist so the rear suspension of the vehicle is hanging
free. See hoisting in the Lubrication And Mainte-
nance section of this service manual.
(2) Remove rear wheels/tires.
(3) Using an appropriate jack, support the rear
axle prior to the removal of the track bar and shock
absorber bolts from the rear axle.
(4) Unbolt the track bar from the rear axle.
(5) Unbolt both shock absorbers from the rear
axle.
(6) Loosen (do not remove) both of the leaf spring
to front spring hanger pivot bolts.
NOTE: When lowering the rear axle be sure that the
leaf springs do not come in contact with the hoist
limiting the downward movement of the axle. If this
occurs an improper adjustment of the actuator may
result.
(7) Lower the rear axle so it is at its farthest point
of downward movement.
(8) Loosen the adjustment nut (Fig. 203) on the
actuator.
(9) Be sure the hooked end of the actuator is cor-
rectly (fully) seated in the clip on the proportioning
valve lever and that the clip is correctly positioned
on the lever of the proportioning valve.
(10) Pull the housing of the proportioning valve
actuator toward the spring hanger (Fig. 203) until
the lever on the proportioning valve bottoms on the
body of the proportioning valve.Hold the propor-
tioning valve actuator in this position while
tightening the adjustment nut (Fig. 203) to a
torque of 5 N´m (45 in. lbs.). Proportioning
valve adjustment is now complete.
(11) Install shock absorbers and track bar on rear
axle.Do not tighten the mounting bolts for any
of the loosened suspension components at this
time.
(12) Install the wheel/tires.
