Trouble with Bump steer mod ?
#1
Not sure if I should be posting this here, or in the section for brakes - but here goes...
I visited the nice people at Powerstation today to get the bump steer / wheel alignment deal that they do. All good so far. Trouble came when I'd paid up and was due to leave - I was reversing out of the drive to their workshop into the road - when I stopped and turned round in my seat to start driving off - I noticed the ABS warning light on my dash was on...
I stopped and went back in - and they quickly had the car back on the ramps again - and checked it over for about the next forty minutes - but could only nail it down to (they said) a faulty sensor connection for the driver's side front wheel...
I've rung my dealer, and am going to try to get this back under warranty - but has anyone else had a similar experience ?
On the plus side for the Powerstation gang - Rich said that if I had any hassle over this from my dealers, that he'd fork out to get the sensor replaced....

Not a chance - don't think they've heard of the internet - they certainly hadn't heard of Powerstation when I rang them up prior to coming to see you guys. I was ringing them to check on the validity of my warranty after having the mod done - and they said (after my description of what the work involved) that the only thing which *might* be affected, was wear on the tyres... So they can't really go back on that and say "oh yeah, and the brakes too" can they ?

I don't see how the bump steer mod can affect the ABS, unless the sensor got accidentally damaged during adjustments.

Nope - Listers aren't my dealer.
The cars with my dealer at the moment - they just rang to confirm what Rich told me on Friday - which is that it's the front driver's side sensor which has gone caput. They're replacing it for me tomorrow.
Bonza!
