It is a valve in the brake lines going to the rear of the vehicle. It adjust the amount of fluid flow to the rear brakes depending on the height of the rear suspension. The lower the suspension, the more weight in the vehicle, the more rear braking power is needed.

∙ 11y ago* Corrected - A brake proportioning valve distributes brake pressure between front and rear brakes. Different valves are in use depending upon the types of brakes and weight distribution of the car. The proportioning valve generally assures that the rear brakes do not "lock" as the car brakes and even more weight is transferred to the front wheels.
