ABS Replacement

[Vinsanity]

Hello tsikoteers!!!

Tanong ko lang po kung san po pwede makabili ng ABS kit? Lumambot po kasi yun brake pedal ko bigla while driving na yun tipong sagad dapat yun tapak para makabrake pero andun pa din yun braking power. Ito diagnosis ng Hyundai repair sa amin sa Pasig pero sabi nila wala daw piyesa available locally. SAbi nila another alternative is to convert it to a non-ABS system which I am not sure how much. Gusto ko sana pacheck sa ibang mechanic na magaling para makakuha ng second opinion and kung ABS ba talaga yun sira.

If ever ABS nga, meron bang mga brands na marerecommend na maganda at matibay for a Hyundai Sonata GLS 2000? Magkano aabutin if ever?

Might be the brake master cylinder, not the ABS system.

sir vinsanity, maraming components ang abs system, at hindi ito nasisira ng sabay sabay..

tanong mo sa shop kung anong pyesa ba talaga ang nasira..kung sinasabi nila sa iyong palitan yung abs system, maghanap ka na ng ibang shop...

baka brake master lang yan like what sir alpha_one said, check mo rin yung brake pads or kung may leak yung brakes

baka sa hydrovac?

pinull out ko na nga yun sasakyan kanina. I will bring it to another shop to check, siguro sa Rapide or sa mga malalapit na auto shops sa amin. Sa Pasig kasi ako, marami auto shop na malapit sa Ultra

Magsisisi ka lang sa Rapide. Bakit mo naman naisip dalhin dun? Sasabihin lang nila palitan 'lahat'.

The ABS of a typical braking system looks like a box with lots of hoses/hardlines sprouting from it. This is the part that controls brake pressure to each wheel to prevent lock up. AFAIK, that is the most expensive part.

Other parts that can cause a spongy pedal would be the brake master cylinder which all cars have (ABS or non-ABS).

There are other ABS components like wheel sensors, ECU, wiring, etc. that play no part in determining pedal feel.
