[urq] Seriously p*ssed with ABS

[QSHIPQ at aol.com]

the ABS rarely fails, it either works or it doesn't.  IF it works kinda 
whacky, you have bad sensors/placement, or outer cv's are too worn or 
obstructed.  Looking at your post below, I'd suggest finding out which sensor 
is giving the inconsistent reading (most likely one of the fronts) and 
replacing only that one, then go thru the rest as necessary.
