INSTALL
(1) Install the hooked end of the actuator on the
proportioning valve lever (Fig. 136).Be sure isola-
tor bushing on lever of proportioning valve
(Fig. 136) is fully seated in hook of actuator.
NOTE: When installing height sensing proportion-
ing valve on mounting bracket be sure proportion-
ing valve shield (Fig. 135) is installed between the
proportioning valve and the mounting bracket.
(2) Install height sensing proportioning valve on
mounting bracket. Install the proportioning valve
attaching bolts (Fig. 135). Tighten the attaching bolts
to a torque of 23 N´m (200 in. lbs.).
(3) Install the 4 chassis brake lines (Fig. 134) into
the inlet and outlet ports of the proportioning valve.
Tighten all 4 line nuts to a torque of 16 N´m (142 in.
lbs.).
(4) Adjust the proportioning valve actuator. See
Height Sensing Proportioning Valve in the Adjust-
ment Section in this group of the service manual for
the adjustment procedure.
(5) Bleed the brake system thoroughly to ensure
that all air has been expelled from the hydraulic sys-
tem. See Bleeding Brake System in the Service
Adjustments section in this group of the service man-
ual for the proper bleeding procedure.
(6) Lower the vehicle to the ground.
(7) Road test the vehicle to verify proper operation
of the vehicles brake system.
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.
