Hello,
Just put new rotors, pads, bearings and seals on my wife's 96 XLT 2WD. Intermittently, at low speeds, while applying brakes, the ALB appears to kick in...I was sure to clean all sensors, etc. Should I pull the battery cable and let the CPU go dead? Will doing this reset/recalibrate the ALB system? Thanks....
 






When it's happening, pay attention to which way the steering wheel pulls (if at all). If it pulls to the left, you have a problem in the right front, and vice versa. If it does not pull at all, there is most likely a problem with the rear. By problem, I mean bad air gap, cracked tone ring, grease on the tone ring, or a bad sensor. Make sure that the wheel bearings are also properly adjusted. Also make sure the tire pressures are good, and that the tires are all the same size.
 






WOW! All I did was install new front rotors....bet a wheel bearing may not be adjusted properly. Thanks!!!!
