Only at low speed? I'll bet you have an abs sensor that's out of adjustment
or gone bad. When the monkey lads at Direct Tire did a wheel bearing for me
last fall, they misaligned the LF abs sensor and I had the same symptoms.
Can't tell you how to diagnose yours...in my case it was obvious. The work
was done on a single wheel and the sensor was hanging loose. Idiots. It was
my punishment for letting them do the work, against my better judgement,
instead of going to my regular mechanic.
