Hello everyone. Thanks for looking at my thread.
Today I took a drive to the store and I had to make a pretty sharp turn(wheel turned completely left) into a parking space. When I put the brakes on, there was a pulsing I felt through my foot. It felt like when your abs pulses under heavy braking so you dont skid. First, is this normal? I wouldnt think so personally. Second, if its not common, where should I look to fix this little problem. I have taken off and inspected my brakes and rotors everythings seems cool. So thats why Im here. :D Thanks for any help!
 






My '95 did this too. It was posted on here somewhere that there is a problem with the sensors on the wheels, which are like $400 each, so I just like it go. Shouldn't hurt anything though.
 






I looked on the tsb for my x and it has an entry for the transfer case binding under heavy turning... im not sure if that would transfer through the brake peddle or not. thanks todd for your info. im looking into that. 800 bucks is a little salty for that little prob. youre right
 






old thread, same question

i too am having this problem, has anyone else had any luck with this situation or is it best to let it go till it breaks:eek:?? as for the sensors, which sensors were going bad.. the abs?? i just don't want to be parking at wally world one day and put my blue oval up some bmw's rear cause i "let it go" for too long!
