Rear Brakes Locking up first

[ccarpen at earthlink.net (Cris Carpenter)]

It'd take ten seconds to go out and look under the rear of the car and see 
if it has one of these load-sensitive valves. Or it would take ten hours of 
list discussion about whether or not the car might have one... and we still 
would not know!
I worked on these cars professionally for almost twenty years, and I would 
still rather go out and look under the rear end than look in a book to find 
out for sure.
