Master cylinder outputs.

F150 1997 4WD

Hello.

I know it's probably a stupid question but here goes.
Does the front exit of the MC supplies pressure to the front wheels and the back exit to the back wheels?
Is it the other way around?

I need to know because I will bypass the 4WABS module that is shot and leaking, I have the ABS fuse removed and the system disable for years anyways (I refuse to let a computer take control of my braking).

I know that for some people, bypassing the ABS maybe a taboo subject but I'm a grown man, I take full responsability

Thanks for your input.

Normally the rear outlet supplies the front brakes. Just to be sure for your truck look into the master cyl resevoir and see where the division is between front and rear parts of the resevoir. The outlet below the bigger part of the resevoir goes to the front brakes.

I don't really see inside the reservoir since it's the kind with a round cap and a floating thingie inside.

Thanks anyways.

Then go with the rear port for the front brakes.

Thanks!


The stupid board is telling me my message is too short so I have to add this useless line to make it happy.
