ABS

[srellim234]

Not being a mechanic in any way, shape or form, my question is:

Is ABS something that Nissan can put on a Versa after you've bought one without it?

[Ever Victorious]

No, ABS is one of those things that cannot feasibly be refit after the fact.

[Woogie]

Anything is possible, but aftermarket ABS is not practical.

ABS relies on a sensor on each wheel and a hydraulic pump to 'pump' the brakes, connected to a computer (usually an ABS module that's part of the car's ECU). You would need an ABS module and sensors installed. You can see what's involved here:

Better just to pay the extra $250 for the ABS package. As far as ABS goes, a car either has them or it doesn't.

Thank you for the info.

As I indicated, I don't build 'em. I just drive 'em.

Indeed, I have ABS and the rears are drum.
