A load-controlled brake compensator for a vehicle possessing a chassis and at least one axle, includes a fixed part (10) solidly attached to the chassis and comprising at least one compensating valve provided with a pivotingly mounted control lever (12) of which one end is associated with the axle via a preloaded spring device (18) whose length is preset by way of a temporary strut (22) before one of its ends (20) is fixed to the axle, the other end of the spring device being solidly attached to a rod (16) capable of sliding in an opening (14) made in the end of the lever (12). It further comprises an elastic mechanism (24) tending to restore the spring device (18) towards the lever and a locking means (28, 29, 30) allowing the sliding movement of the rod (16) in the opening (14) to be prevented after fixing of the spring device (18) to the axle and before removal of the temporary strut (22).
