Hey I was wondering if anyone had this problem before. I just replaced LCA bushings and ball joints in the front now every time when I brake at low speed like 5-10mph my abs would engage and it seems like its only the front passenger side. I bought the ball joints from ebay like lots of people on the other thread did but none of them seem to have this problem. The shop checked the sensor, bushings and ball joints and everything looks good. Can it be bad alignment? It seems like my front passenger wheel is a little bit toe out? Just trying to see if bad alignment might be the possible cause if not I'll just have the shop find the problem otherwise I'm going to get an alignment done first since I just put on my new tires.

 

BTW my tire size are 255/40/18 and 275/40/18. Pretty sure it's not the tires since the brakes were fine after I put them on. Also I only tap on the brakes and it's not raining or anything so I know for sure it's not normal....

 

is it chopping? Like in that clunking?

 

yup

 

brake pump modulator.

 

jk, I have no clue.

 

ABS sensor might be damaged or misaligned during install...

 

I'm not sure why, but I lost it at this post.

OP, 350z006 is probably right. There's a good chance something happened to the sensor or the distance it is from the hub. Also, check the wiring too for tire rub. Are you not throwing an ABS light? Have you run a scanner on it to see if there are any stored codes it may have thrown from the ABS?

 

OP, did you figure your issue?


I am having my ABS engage also when slowing to a stop under light braking..

I do not have any slip lights or any other lights light up as others have experienced.

I have brembos reconditioned and almost new Stoptech rotors and pads..

Where is the sensor located?
