Default Brake pressure control valve leaking

The seal between the piston and the cap must be leaking because fluid is dripping out of the hole in the center of the cap. Will a valve from a 2000 - 2004 fit my 1995? They seem to be the same apart from different lines and positioning. I have one laying around from fixing my brothers 2000.

I had a talk with the mustang tech at my local dealership and got the answers I needed. For the sake of others searching this I will provide the information I found.

Fox bodies all the way to new edge all use a similar valve that can be transplanted from year to year. They have only been updated to tweak the balance for each cars weight but will still perform nearly identical.

Where the problem arises is when dealing with ABS. Non ABS valves have two lines in and three lines out and help a little with preventing wheel lock up front. ABS valves have two lines in and two lines out and only control the front/rear brake balance.

In my case they will not work because it was pulled from a car without ABS and my car has ABS. So I plan on re building my valve with a kit from Muscle Research LLC.

Good luck with it. Sry you didn't get a reply. Last time I did brakes was on my 1974 Corolla and that was around 1987 lol.

Thanks, I'm not on here much but when I am I tend to ask questions others are not familiar with.
