Might be using a 4x4 valve body, correct spot for the widget then.


Also keeps it away from all the dirt under the car - doing this on mine


Any reason you swapped to Sapphire front hubs ?

What does the valve actually do does it act like a pressure reducing valve?

I've had the end off one and it looks like some kind of non return valve - it's got a spring loaded ball bearing inside, I couldn't get the insides apart though and gave up !
