Default I replaced all my control arms on the front end.....

I did the right side and it took about 4 hours. Then the next weekend I did the left side it took about 3 hours. After doing the right side I drove teh car a bit and when I almost come to a stop the ABS kicks in. I looked at the sensor to see if I messed it up and it seemed to be ok. It was not doing this before I had started the job. Any ideas???

Default Can you check for codes?

I'd be really suspicious of an issue with an ABS sensor.

Default pull the codes could be a dirty or bad sensor

if it is a bad sensor, check for opens in the wire if you find one cut that piece out and replace with a new wire and save yourself $170

Default Probably a dirty sensor

Pull it out and hit it with some contact cleaner, should take you about 5 minutes once you have the wheels off. Then see if the problem comes back.

Default A lot of guys have found a dirty sensor. If that doesn't produce

results, I'd get an ohmeter and check resistance reading while moving the wire around.
