Bad ABS? swollen rubber lines?
 
Hey all, still having brake problems.


after my car ate the right front caliper, i installed a new front calipers, new pads, new rotors, this caliper siezed after a few stop(thou this appered to be a physically deffective caliper with a siezed piston). the supplier was kind enough to work with me and give me another, with a very fast turn around. i installed this on the vehicle. the caliper was working perfect, after a little while she siezed up again and the car is un driveable.

I currently have the right front abs sensor broken, but the fuse was removed

I have been told this is caused by swollen flex lines.... mine appear solid.

My plant manager, a former mechanic told me that he thinks it is the abs, and a solnoid is stuck open.

any ideas?

Have you changed the fluid at all?

It's not the outside that swells, it's the inside.

Actually I had mine collapse . When pressure was released. The hose would collapse and the caliper would not relax , pucks would not retract and pads stuck to the disk untill they wore down. Put Stainless steel lines on.
