That is the Rear Brake Proportioning Valve (also referred to as a Rear brake pressure regulator). Depending on the suspension position, it changes how much pressure is sent to the rear brakes. Depending on the situation, it may increase pressure (usually during high rear load conditions) or decrease the pressure to prevent unpredictable handling.
The 1995 Ford Taurus has four brake lines. There is a break line for each break. The brake lines go from the master cylinder to the brakes.

Brake bleeding is technique used on a hydraulic brake system in order to purge the brake lines of any air bubbles. Removing air bubbles allows for the brake system to function properly.
The vacuum lines for your power brake system typically connect to the intake manifold of the engine. This location allows the vacuum created during engine operation to assist in the brake booster function. The brake booster then uses this vacuum to amplify the force applied to the brake pedal, making braking easier and more effective. Proper connections and condition of these lines are crucial for optimal brake performance.
Air bubbles may still be trapped in the brake lines after bleeding, causing the brakes to feel spongy. This can happen if the bleeding process is not done properly or if there is a leak in the brake system. It is important to ensure that all air is completely removed from the brake lines to restore proper brake function.
You can not use rubber fuel lines to replace the current brake lines due to the high operating pressure. You will need to replace them with brake lines, the rubber brake lines has a different construction to hold the pressure and not getting eaten away by the brake fluid, brake lines can hold over 2000psi when the pedal is heavily applied
Master cylinder brake lines are the most common brake lines on a the Chevy Malibu.
Block diagram is a pictorial representation of an idea or concept. Block diagram are easiest method. It does explain the system of function and working. These diagram use boxes connected to each other by links or lines. Each represents a function.
A spongy brake pedal after bleeding may be due to air still trapped in the brake lines, a leak in the system, or worn out brake components. It is important to thoroughly inspect and address these issues to ensure proper brake function and safety.
Yes. I'd replace the brake lines from the rear distribution block, but the answer is yes.
The hose goes from the diff to the frame, remove the two brake lines from the block on the diff, remove the mounting bolt, then disconnect the hose from the brake line at the frame. Install then bleed the brakes.
You remove the wheels to replace brake lines.
