basically it detects load in the back of the car, s when you lower the car it tricks it into thinking the rear is loading up and therefore adjusts the braking more to the rear (to compensate for weight) although from your pic it looks as if theres nothing connected so nothing to worry about!

I'd say yes, and get it looked at. Fek the back wheels locking up on the motorway if you have to do an emergency stop
