Angle of Brake Balance Bar??

[Russ Dickey]

While adjusting my brake bias this afternoon (for more front brakes), I noticed that the angle of the brake balance bar changed dramatically after pushing the pedal a few times. Is this normal, or is the brake bar in a bind, such as I have read about on previous threads?

If it is in a bind, is this something that I can adjust with the rods that connect to the master cylinders?

I've attached this photo for reference. Note the sharp downward angle of the bar on the left side.

H-m-m-m.... never paid much attention to the angle, although I don't think it makes any noticeable difference. I got tired of squeezing into the footbox to make adjustments and sprung for the the Wilwood remote brake bias adjustment kit - now I adjust the brake bias with a knob mounted under the dash. Much more convenient and painless

The angle seems "normal" because the holes though which the bar runs is larger than the diameter of the bar. You can reach down there with your hand and feel how the bar will move up or down on either side of the pedal. I've spent quite a bit of time adjusting mine and that's how mine is. If anyone says differenty, please let me know, as there is something wrong with mine. Thanks, Walter

I agree with Walter's comments; I just adjusted the bias on my car and it looked just like Russ's picture.

Its normal for the bias rod to angle up or down, if you install a remote cable it will straighten out.
