Hey guys,

So i think my ABS is screwed up and i was looking for some imput on the matter. Firstly my car is a 94 LS. When the car starts the first 5 minutes of driving everytime i brake i hear a knocking noise coming from brake pedal. The speed of the knocking depends on how fast im going. The knocking slows down as the car slows down. And i can feel every knock on the pedal like its pushing back at my foot. After about 5 minutes the ABS light comes on, and i read in my manual that means i no longer have ABS but just regular braking, and the knocking goes away. The car still stops okay despite all this, its just annoying as hell. Any ideas on what this could be/input on the matter?

 

Yeah that's the ABS acting up on you. You need to scan the car and check out what the ABS code is. It could simply be a sensor that's gone, or it could be a ABS unit it's self.

 

thanks spike, i plan to get it checked out tomorrow.

 

Rip it out screw the abs..unless you rather have it.

 

so i got an ABS test done, and it said left front wheel. turns out the ABS sensor has a crack in it, so now i have to replace driver side side drive shaft. anyone know where i can pick one up?

 

the sensor is cracked so you need a driveshaft?

 

The sensor and drive shaft are 2 different things, so which one is it that you need?

 

sorry, hard to explain since i dont know much about ABS or drive shafts for that matter, but the mechanic showed me the part that was cracked and i pointed to it on the pic. Its the circle thing on the drive shaft with the teeth and theres a tooth missing from it.. does that make sense?

 

Ok so that would be the drive shaft. I have a used one that I'm selling right now with half shaft for $50.

 

whats the condition of it? i need it for the driver side

 

oh ok. it's the exciter ring on the axle shaft.

 

It's fine, it was in my car.

 

Hmmm, im gonna look into this also. My abs light has been on since I bought the car.
