minor incident = abs problem
minor incident = abs problem
hey gents
i gave my car (evo 8 mr - stock) a little too much round a corner and mounted a gutter
the rubber took most of the force however i did damage my bbs rims a little
no major damage, suspension, axle, drive train/shaft are all fine, no cracks, no leaking fluids and mechanically there is no problem with the vehicle
there is a problem with the ABS light now - and of course, rattle when driving due to the rim / tire / wheel alignment
under light braking (the slightest touch, it goes straight to ABS, no normal brakes) after driving for like a minute, the ABS light comes on and i don't think i have any ABS at all (even under super hard braking when ABS would normally come on)
question, would the vibration / hit have damaged my ABS system? (im guessing it has) thus causing the light to come on as soon as i gain some speed / apply the breaks?
i do honestly hope that it will not be an overly expensive fix
any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
thanks in advance,
changas

Before you take it to the dealership, I would replace any bent rims or damaged suspension parts so they cover it under warranty (if you're still within warranty). If they realize you ran over a curb, you're going to be on the hook for the bill.
yeah
took it to the shop today
need a new wheel hub
new cv joint
and new rim.
the dude goes mate, you were so lucky you didnt tear your whole rear axle off and got away with the amount of damage i did.
thank the lord!
