Re: ABS activating at <5mph.

Chad,
The wheel sensors are not working properly. Most likely a result of the
reinstallation of the wheels after the springs change. Easy fix: bring it
back to the shop and have them check out the wheel speed sensors.

Well with all this talk of ABS, maybe someone will know
what's going on here. Car is a '91 200q. Just been lowered
with H&R springs. When coming to a complete stop at
speeds only below approx. 5 mph, the abs system kicks
in until the car has completely stopped. During normal
braking at anything above 5 mph, no abs activation at all.
This is only under normal braking. Abs still works fine
if you mash the pedal to the floor.Also, no
abs light on either. Why would the car do
this after having the springs installed? TIA for any help,
