    so my abs has been acting up ever since i got my axles replaced. the abs come on at about 5-10 mph when braking i don't have a vag so cant get the codes also the abs light is not on, so what do you guys think my rotors don't seem to be to worn may be the sensor is there a way i can disconnect the abs until i get it fixed because it's very annoying.

    Just unplug the harness at the ABS unit. This is how I run my car all the time for drag racing so it doesn't apply the brakes when I spin the tires.

    Probably got some dirt and metal debris on the tip of the sensors. Sensors may have also gotton pushed out a little, if this is one of the ones where the sensors are not bolted in but rather just held in by a goofy spring clamp retainer type of deal. Not explaining that very well, but repardless, pull them out and clean them and use some brake cleaner to clean the ABS ring on the axle by just rotating the axle and spraying into the sensor hole. Reinstall the sensors making sure they're fully seated.

    Re: disconnect abs

    isnt that going to eliminate your front rear bias so your rear wheels would be likely to lock up in the event of a hard high speed braking situation?
