Many thanks for your help all the way through cheers Adam

Thanks for getting back. When I fitted the new hub the fault lights couldn't be cleared by the Hawkeye so I initially replaced the sensor with the old one. The fault cleared but when I drove only a few yards I had the binding problem on the near side wheel. I stripped the whole corner down to...

Interesting theory StanleySteamer, the other hub is a different make but not so old. I will think that through and try it. Are the leads marked on the ABS ECU? The new nearside hub's sensor was duff when fitted, and I changed it from one from eBay.

Further to the above, I have just unplugged the ABS relay and driven the car round the block. Of course the 3 Amigos were lit but the car drove fine, but what does this mean regarding the TC/ABS system? Thanks a

Hi, here I am again. After a wheel bearing, CV joint brake rebuild, I drive it out of the garage and the TC cuts in and binds up the side of the drive that I have been working on. I am completely baffled. The bearing was from Craddock so I am assuming it is a proper 60 tooth ABS model, but I...

Well I have torqued them to spec and in sequence. Seems good on a static test, and will test on the road later. Thanks to all A

Hi, I missed this and it makes perfect sense, thanks for pointing it out Cheers Adam

Hi, well I tried a different hub carrier/knuckle/collet, torqued it up and it was the same. I then connected up the steering, started the engine and the steering feels absolutely fine, with no binding or variation through the lock, so I suppose it's just new? A

Okay, thank you very much. I will get back to the coal face. Cheers A

What can I do to asses or adjust or decide if it's normal?

Hi, thanks for getting back, the collet was wound right in, which jaws are you referring to?

Hi good folks. Just reassembling after changing upper and lower front ball joints. Torqued the collet up to 5 its and the top and bottom nuts of the hub/knuckle you can see in the photo up to 55. My question is that the hub is very stiff to turn when I grip it with both hands. Is this normal...

Hi, my fault entirely, I should have stated it was a TD5 Cheers A

Thank you NPG A

The knuckle is bottom left and collett is on the other side of it. It’s a very standard truck. Thanks A

Hi folks, just to make sure I've got this right, when reassembling the steering knuckle to fit back onto the balljoints the collet should be tightened all the way? Thanks Adam

Thanks for clarification

Thanks very much for your help, I saw another one of your post suggesting swapping Relay 10 for relay 8, is that likely to help and what difference might I feel? I swapped them and it felt better, but it might have been my imagination . Thanks again A

Hi, I just wondered (A) do I need to do anything other than mechanically install a replacement ABS pump. Do I have to program it into the ECU with a VIN number or anything or is it plug and play. Also someone had a really brilliant way of expelling all the air manually without the Hawkeye. I...

Thank you A
