Default ABS Light came on, and Car pulls hard left after Summit star mounting.

Well last night I was unable to drive the car very much, but the smorning on my way to work, About three miles down the road, My ABS light came on, and my BRAKE light came on,<<<<The one one the dash, not my actual brake light.

Also if I hit my brakes with a decent amount of force, My car will pull hard to the left.

None of my Wheels are touching anything, I only had to grind a little on one of my rear calipers. So I am kinda at a loss here..

What do you guys think? Were should I start looking for my problem... Could it be cause the different size rims/tires throwing every thing off? Would appreciate your input.

Check your wiring around the passengers side header....
Make sure it did not burn your abs sensor wire. Mine did a long time ago and caused an ABS light (can't remember if the Brake light came on).

Are the front and rear tires different sizes? Sounds like they are to me, because that'll make the abs and brake lights pop on after a few miles...as far as pulling to the left, take your brake calipers apart and make sure the little sliders slide nice and smooth.

Thanks Jimbob,

Yeah the tires are a different size. So I was thinking the same too, but then it would pull to the left, and kinda got me wondering. Tonight I will take them off and check them out.

By the way,,, These tires have more traction in the rain than my Sumo's.... lol. Freekin outstanding.

Sweet combo....I did not fully read your thread, I guess...Oh well, if you ever loose just one side and don't put on "Different height tires" then mine commit might apply, but you never know...

Lane, pull your abs codes or have them pulled. Start there.

Pulling to the left...if nothing is rubbing and you did no work to your brakes i'd say check your tire pressure....

No rubbing and tire pressure I would assume would be the same. I had Les Schwab mount them, But I will check.

I am hoping to go over to Ellis's this weekend, hopefully he will have some time to tinker with the tune and stuff..

I haven't got the car past 40 yet.... lol.

WTF? I could have sworn I posted in this thread, must be this gay *** internet. You need some adjustable lca's, not to cut the fenders. Don't cut your fenders for a 275 tire. Also the caliper is probably sticking, most likely a faulty rubber brake line up front or a caliper is installed incorrectly.

I don't know if I'm doing single 80mm or twin 70's right now. I'll be home on Tuesday at the latest and will give you a hand if you help me pull my motor I'll call you homie!
