ABS = anti-lock brake system

which is essentially antiskid.

taking out the fuse is fine...it just disables the system. Although I HAVE heard stories of people wrecking their cars and the insurance company finding out the fuse was taken out and not paying them anything...but these are just RUMORS I have heard.

The insurance company would have a very very valid point in court to not pay in such a case. Removal of braking components is not a good idea.

Can you explain the problem in the ABS's function?

He's trying to drift maybe?

nah i dont care about drift...

just when i brake ... between like... 5KM/H and a DEAD STOPthe brakes would chatter... so I assumed it was my ABS and took out the fuse.. problem solved.

no more brake chatter just before i stop.

drifing WOULD be nice tho :P

next time you do a brake job..just clean the abs sensors and that should clear up the premature skid pedal chatter thingamabobber

if you are worried about insurance and want to leave abs off take out the fuse, short it out, and put it back in.

I know, I'm so used to FWD... then I picked up a 240 and was like... DAMN. (I live in canada... lots of snow... lots of slide)

SO anyway... yea i just shorted the fuse and put it back in thanks for the tip.

i got a huge engine project comming up... need so many replacement parts... time to make a trip to the scrap yard.
