99 EUCLID SUSPENSION FIELD MANUAL HEIGHT CONTROL VALVE SELECTION PROCESS STEP 2 – IS THERE A PREFERRED MANUFACTURER AND MODEL OF THE VALVE? There are three primary valve manufacturers in North America: A. Barksdale B. Hadley C. Haldex All three companies make valves that operate in a similar manner so if an exact replacement is desired, it MIGHT be available from your local dealer or distributor. Some "exact replacement" valves are only available from the specific vehicle OEM's and their dealers. If an exact replacement is not available, several "universal" valves will work in most applications and are shown below. Many of these universal valves also include brackets and arms. The brackets allow the universal valve to be mounted in various manners and the arms will allow for a number of different offsets and arm lengths/mounting to the linkage. Visit MeritorPartsXpress.com or the 700E series of suspension catalogs for the complete height control valve offerings. STEP 3 – OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Arm Length + Offset: Match the Arm Length and Offset of the OEM Valve for optional performance. • While a valve will operate with an arm length that is different than the OEM specification, it will not perform in the optimal manner. • The offset may be determined by the bracket and arms which may be flat or bent with an "offset." • Some valves have arms that can be removed and replaced. Barksdale valves have arms that are permanently attached and can not be remove or replaced. 2. Brackets/mountings: Are available to allow for the proper mounting of the valve onto the vehicle. In many cases the brackets can be reused. UNIVERSAL HEIGHT CONTROL VALVES Euclid Offers Several Universal Height Control Valves Which Can Be Used In Most Applications APPLICATION EUCLID PART NO.
