Thought I`d throw this on here, it was interesting to me.

I recently did some wheeling, and when I got back my ABS was acting funny, activating for no reason and the light would keep coming on.

I didn`t notice any other problem, and didn`t get a chance to check over my front end immediately after the trip, but when I finally did, I noticed that my spindle nuts had backed off on my pass. side. (they keep your rotors on, if ya don`t know) this play was enough to mess up my ABS.

Next time my ABS does that, I`ll be sure to check those nuts right away:D
 






yeah it puts the rotor on a slight angle like / or something if you get what i mean... and it trips the sensor on the back on the rotor....
