Abs kicking in?

iceboi714 · 10-13-2008, 02:49 PM

Might be just me...but i wanna confirm it.....im going about 30-35MPH....slow down with feet still on the brakesto not go over a pot hole at a fast speed....i feel a good amount of rattling and the brake seems to be pushing back against my foot...this normal?...abs kicking it?...

If so i never thought it would kick in at such a little thing...

That's normal. It is the ABS.

Sounds like the wheel is losing traction for a second when you're going over the pothole, and since you're actively braking it would make sense for the ABS to kick in.

Steel brake lines eliminate a significant amount of brake chatter........
