ABS kicking it when coming to slow stop


Recommended Posts

So I just replaced my brakes all 4 corners 

pads and rotors and new calipers up front. And now when I come to a stop slowly it feels like ABS kicks in. No lights in the cluster coming on.  It does not do it every time I stop. Could it be the rear speed sensor ?bad wheel hubs up front ?  I am lost and scared to put a trailer behind it till I get it fixed.  Any help I would really appreciate it

Could be either front or rear. The easy way to tell. Rear sensor will make the speedometer do weird things like stay at ZERO for while then jump to speed this is a rear speed sensor issue. 

 

Front sensor need to be replaced as a pair. Check your wheel bearing at the same time if the bearing(s) are bad replace as a pair. Typically if one goes the other is shortly behind it. The sensors have to be replaced as a pair because 99% if you replace just one the other one will not match because of wear.

Would it best  if I just bought 2 new front hubs either the sensors connected to them?

Unit bearings are expensive at about 260 per bearing with sensors. Last time I did unit bearings it was a total of $520 for both. Sensors are expensive too. 

 

$260 for that whole hub with sensor.  I’m finding on rock auto for like $76. Or maybe we are talking about the wrong part.

Well I did the front hubs today with new abs sensor and replaced the rear sensor as well and I am still getting that abs feel kick in when coming to a slow stop. Did a full bleed of the brakes after finishing up. Could it be my brake booster or Hydroboost?
