Hi Guys,

Yesterday morning my ABS started playing up

Symptoms:

- At lower speeds the ABS works for no reason at all, even if little pressure is applied to the brake pedal.

- Just sounds like loads of springs twanging and the brake pedal vibrates like a B*****d!

I took the cover off the ABS unit and made sure there was no water/crap in the relay connections and it was all perfectly clean.


Any suggestions?????

-I don't think its the sensors because they all worked fine as I cleaned them up when I fitted the suspension.

:mad:

I have the same problem. Tried different legs, so That COULD be ruled out, though my ABS light now comes on occasionally instead of full time. Changing my hubs on the weekend weather permitting and also have some new sensors. (The legs I swapped in have a rusty tone wheel, so keeping in my totally new suspension/brakes/steering, Im gonna change the hubs out. But I'll do the sensors first.. and see how that goes. Stay tuned
