Ok heres the deal, i used to hear a clunking sound when i turned the wheel etc thought it was engine mounts, started saving up for em and low and behold abs and traction lights came on, i thought it was weird so took it to mechanic they told me z bar needs to be replaced.
So i bought the bushes replaced them myself and while i was replacing them i saw a few more bushes that were buggered so started replacing them. Then i found the ball joint on passenger side was buggered so replaced that too.
So to recap i have at this stage replaced
Z bar bushes
Lower control arm bushes
inner control arm bushes
sway bar bushes in engine bay
and passenger side ball joint.
Pretty much almost all the bushes have been replaced in the front end, BUT my abs and traction control light still comes on once i hit 10km, then the engine malfunction light comes on, i have cleaned and replaced my O2 sensor (as i was told that may be the problem) as my fuel also had a rich smell coming form exhaust.
The next step im going to take is to flush and bleed my brakes, i have however noticed there is some sort of leak coming form the exhaust pipe from about half way down the pipe not sure if thats related but yeah thought id add that.
Ive done what i can without forking out crap loads of cash to a mechanic any advice to what the problem may be would be grateful or if you have experienced the same issues any feedback would be great as well.
You might have a faulty ABS module or a bad connection where the wiring harness plugs into the ABS module.
MY RIDE
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
ill need to double check that ill check the simple things before taking it to a mechanic to check the harder more "expensive things" unless theres a simple way of checking things
faulty abs module or the abs unit itself. mine was the unit itself after fitting a new module lights remained, fitted new unit all sweet now.
To check if its the abs module thats faulty, disconnect the plug and go for a drive. The ABS and trac control lights will be lit, although everything else should be off and your air cond etc should work as well.
Ok i did a self diagnosis and the code came up as code 95 which is traction control signal out of range WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!! what the hell does that mean how do i fix it and why is the car still running like shit??
