brakes..

[AllTheCoolNamesAreTaken]

Yea, well.. My ABS light kept turning on, especially in the rain. When I was getting some engine work done, I also had the mechanic check the brakes. The left front speed sensor was replaced as well as the left front bearing. I drive around for a while, everything is fine. Today, I go down a hill, and brake.. The brakes seem to give, I hear a clattering noise coming from the left tire. A few blocks later, the ABS light goes on. I turn off the car, go down a hill again... same thing happens! Anyone have any idea what the hell they messed up before I pay them an unpleasent visit tomorrow?

The clattering noise could be if they didn't install the shims, or didn't mount the caliper right.

You may also need to bleed the brakes. Did they remove the caliper (disconnect the brake line) when they changed the bearing? If they did, they may not have bled it properly, or at all.

If they fix the clattering noise, and you still get the ABS light, check the connector, sometimes they get loose, and start acting up.

Thanks for the reply.. so in other words it is most likely something they did wrong. I called today, and they told me to come in Tuesday. Surprisingly, I was nice about it...
