hey i was worknig on the brake system today and my factory repair manual for my 80 4x4 shows the LSPV road as a straight rod. the rod on mine has 2 bends in it. could anyone go out and look under their truck and tell me what theirs looks like (or better get a pict). the previous owner did not treat this truck good at all so i am just wondering if they caught it up in a log and just left it bent. thanks. i will be just sitting here waiting for all of u to go out and look at you trucks

 

i took mine out of my 94.... and the 81 is 800 miles away.... maybe i can convince my mom to crawl under there an look for you.... lol

 

the rod DOES have bends in it ..
the pic is Generic.

 

thanks anyone else?

 

I checked the FSM for my '81...it is a bent rod to the LSPV.

 

this is on my 79

 

sweet thanks mine has more of a s bend in it, now i just have to make up my mind what the hell to do?? to bend or not to bend that is the question.

 

My 83 Toyota also has a "bent rod" like in 4banginRunner picture. 1eye

 

if the brakes are working fine dont touch it.

messing with that rod adjusts how much use the rear brakes get. Raising the rod up will increase the pressure that goes to the rear brakes.

 

Mine is bent on my 82.

 

lol i dont have ANYTHING attached to the LSPV on my rear axle...nor to the one above my drivers side leafs...I wonder if I should worry aobut that
