cal_look_zero Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I managed to sell the Legacy I bought to flip, and the guy called me up because the car is shuddering under hard braking and the ABS light is on. Is there a chance that the ABS is freaking out and causing the vibration/shudder, or is it more likely warped rotors and/or blown struts? I'm going to help him get the car squared away, I just want to know where to start because we'll be putting PnP parts under it. Personally, I'm leaning towards struts, but if it's as simple as disabling the ABS circuit, then I'm all for that approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was an issue with abs pumps from around that era. have him take you for a ride and demo his complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal_look_zero Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 I never noticed anything, but the car has some electrical quirks from a spaz PO and rodents. Would pulling the ABS fuse harm the braking system at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
