I noticed that when I hit a bump sometimes, or a series of bumps, my ABS will turn on and make the ABS noise.

It did it before and after I put new front suspension on the car.. 97 cavy coupe

Anyone elses do it?

yea abs kicks in during an instability and ours is very sensitive. braking while hitting a bumo means the front tires end up going slower than the rears as you hit, abs pulses giving you a vibration, perfectly normal



My car may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.
JBO lube - they would never have enough in stock and we'd never see RodimusPrime again

Yeah, there's a specific pothole near where I live that I can't avoid, and it's right in front of a traffic light. If I know I'm going to hit the red I usually brake a little earlier so I can let off for a second as I ride over the hole, and then I get back on them. It's kinda annoying, but I'd rather have oversensitive ABS than none.

there is a spot here that has rippled pavement. Every day it does it for 20 feet or so at 10 mph. Drives me nuts.

My girls cobalt doesn't do it.. its almost as if hers rides 10x smoother and the wheels are not leaving the ground at all on the bumps.

I'd say just brake a little early and cost through the rippled area. Either that or sell your car

yea its quite annoying, but now that I know its normal it puts my mind at ease.. lol
