My question is about my ABS system---Right after I had the front CV joints replaced the ABS system started to act up. It made the car move from side to side and it was very jerky. My thought is that it has to be a sensor only because the problem developed after the CV joint replacement. In the mean time so I can still drive the car I removed the fuse for the computer so it won't engage. Any thoughts about what it might be? I have cleaned the sensor but it didn't fix the problem. Any insight would be great.
