ABS wheel sensors

Featured Replies

H i everyone,

I have a strange fault with the ABS system:

It started just after the garage replaced the 2 front suspension bushes.

Initially, When fully turning right and breaking at the same time, the brakes pedal starts to judder and I can ear the ABS activating.

After few days the problem occurred when braking whithout turning (quite frightening):eek:

took the car to the garage (Phil Wilks in Durham), and after 2 days of investigation, they did not find an evident problem and suggested to replace the wheel bearing + sensor on each wheel, starting on the n/s/f side front wheel at the cost of £187.00 :irked: each, worst scenario the fault it is going to be on the last wheel, costing me £800.00:mad: .

Very quickly drove away from the garage and decided to disable the ABS by unplugging the front sensor plug, which consequently did bring up the ABS and ESR warning lights.

Car is braking fine now, but I wonder if it is safe untill I resolve the ABS Issue.

Can anybody advice on this matter,?

Could this problem been caused by the garage, when they replaced the front suspension bushes?:confused:

Thanks for your time.
