I had this similar happening with a loose driveshaft bolt which meant the ABS reluctor ring was moving out of range for the ABS sensor as the drive shaft moved "in" under load (note: not on an FFRR) .

Tc as in an Abs sensor ..Yes? It’s just that I did all sensors and reluctors 1and half yrs ago. I will do wheel checks this w/e though thanks to both replies. |

Car on ramp now first thing that my friend has reminded me is I have and now notice is the Nearside rear is sitting at a slightly negative camber. Given that I have also noticed the rear near side tyre needing a bit of air now and again which took the very early signs of this problem away. To top that , the lower near side bush and pin had slight play picked on a advisory.

I have now stripped down the rear on one side which looks like giving the most trouble and after spending hours trying to remove the first bush , it would not budge . Taking up the instruction leaflet to read again I assumed and was following the correct procedure. I have not done this before and the instructions are ambiguous, I was taking it out the wrong way, so now stripped the forcing thread supplied and stripped the thread which is fortunately replaceable .

If the car is pulling to one side, the alignment is out (after ruling out tyre pressures)

Thanks Mikey , I tried the steering thinking it would reset , but the underlying problem must be the swivel hub bushes and the track rod arm , so hope fully this will sort it. Its quite a job though.

There is a special tool to extract and refit the shafts, I use an old copper hammer as a drift, and beat it with a big hammer |

Nearly there, Lr parts are an odd site online , good prices but when ordering to up here in Scotland the the postage comes as as a separate order , if you don't catch the extra email you end up losing out on losing postage dates , as I am!

Further to my last post on replacing rear bushes I have been for alignment , and because the bolt I replaced was the original one, the Garage could undo it so ordered a new one , replaced that and booked back in. The handling is seriously out , But I expecred that . Still when cornering, the HDC and Air suspension lights com on , so clearly work to do. |
