    feels like ABS

    i've isolated almost all the after-wreck problems, but there is one that i can't figure out.
    whenever i hit the brake, i get a jerking-forward feeling, like i have ABS...
    and as far as i know, these cars were not equipped with ABS. .. and my car did not do this before the wreck

    i don't really know, warped rotor or something?
    i've looked at all of them when we had the wheels off and the car on the lift a couple weeks ago, they all looked fine, no visible problems with them...

    my car did the same thing, had my rotors turned and they were fine, if its really bad then replace them....you really can't see the warp in the rotors unless it is bad......

      damn, i've had all 4 turned within the last year (back, last june, and front, last august)
      i might just have to get new ones or something...

      it's not really "BAD", but it's REALLY noticeable...

        Did you slam on the brakes during your accident?

            Yeah, start with new rotors. Then move on to wheel bearings, axle shafts and CV joints.

              pretty much on my list so far is:
              - rotors
              - axles (damn that clicking)
              - wheel bearing (damn that squealing)

              axles and rotors will be considered part of the 'accident recovery' tally (yes, i'm keeping track to the cent of how much i've spent on 'wreck recovery' related things)
              but the wheel bearing (at least the driver's side front... the only one i can tell is squeaking) was doing that before i wrecked.
