ABS acting funny after spindle lift

[michael b]

After the spindle lift I've noticed that when I come to a slow stop it feels like the Anti-Lock take hold. I can feel it in the wheel & it makes the ABS "sound" .Kinda like when traction control is activated in a car. Any ideas what I did wrong? Thank you

Vanilla check the back of the rotors. The fan looking thing might be too far down. It happened to me when i changed to cross drilled rotors. Try that and see if that help..

It has to be something fairly simply. Either rust stuck to the magnetic sensor or the sensor knocked out of alingment.



If you can not figure it out. A shop can plug in and watch live data. They will be able to tell you what wheel is doing what.

You probably just need to cean the sensor I had the same problem. If you are at slow speeds the abs comes on even when only idling in a parking lot. I cleaned mine and have not had a problem with it yet. And by the way what spindle lift did you go with?

Thank you for the responses. I had a combination of troubles. The ABS sensor had debris on it because it sat too close to the rotor & I had a loose wheel bearing that was throwing it off.

Ryan I used the Ranger Edge spindles from SuspensionMax (299.00) Rotors from the Edge, Tried the add a leaf in the rear which didnt work very well so I had the rear springs re-arched & a full size add a leaf installed (180.00) It already had a 3 inch body lift so it is sitting up pretty good. It already had 35" tires on it when I bought it but I'm in the process of ordering 36x13.5 or maybe 37s.
