XCT2 K432A A Levelling Valve for Ford Trucks

What does a levelling valve do?

This levelling valve plays a critical role in maintaining the correct ride height within the air suspension system of heavy commercial vehicles. By utilizing mechanical lever movement to control pneumatic airflow, it ensures the chassis remains stable under varying load conditions and provides consistent support to the air bellows.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This component is specifically compatible with Ford Trucks models, including the Cargo 2517, Cargo 2520, and Cargo 3227. It is designed to work effectively with Ford Dover / Dovertech (Euro 1-2) and Ford Cargo 272 PS (Euro 2-3) engines. This part is also fitted to Ford Trucks vehicles equipped with these specific engine configurations.

Installation and technical specifications

Installation requires careful attention to the port connections, which include M12x1.5 and M16x1.5 thread sizes. The valve operates at a maximum pressure of 13 BAR and utilizes a lever mechanism (Ø 6 - 315 mm) to regulate airflow between the axle and the chassis. Periodic inspection of the lever linkage and seals is recommended to prevent air leaks.

Maintenance and performance

Maintaining proper suspension height is essential for vehicle stability and tire wear reduction. When replacing this component, ensure the operating direction matches the original equipment specifications to maintain correct pneumatic balance across the axle.
