New springs and anti-lock breaks

In my post I said that I didnt believe springs were part of the ABS system. I guess that means I blamed it on the springs :roll:

LMAO

 

then why you throwing your welfare check on what im saying???....LMAO

 

How am I being butt hurt? I'm stating my story..I'm not arguing with you or anyone...the world does not revolve around u

 

im not talking about you dude, sorry for the miss understanding.

 

lol ok....I was thinking to myself...wat did i say wrong

 

nah, you didnt say anything wrong man. you just looking for answers. its some other people that like to think they know what they are talking about. but back to your problem, i really just think you didnt stop on-time or something is really just wrong with your ABS and the springs had nothing to do with it. if the springs would be the defective thing, then alot more people would have this same problem or at least someone would have said something along time ago.

drive safe man! '08 Lancer parts are on back order like crazy. takes months to get stuff from Mitsu.

 

he is'nt the one with the problem, conduct is the one

 

Here is my 2 cents:

1) A car's ABS is directly controlled by the vehicles ECU with a sensor that is set as a part of the brake pedal. When the car "senses" that you have applied the breaks quickly or firmly, it adjusts the amount of pressure the calipers place on the break rotors to stop the vehicle. There is also usually a sensor as a part of the braking system that tracks the rotation of the tires. This is part of the same sensor cluster that monitors the cars speed via the wheels. When one or both of the sensors feel that the breaks have or are about to lock up, the ECU automatically trips the calipers to contract and then release about 5 to 10 times a second. This is when you feel, as the driver, the brake pedal shutter, the car vibrate harshly up front, and generally hear a whirring sound from the front.

2) If the body shop is stating that the wheels locked up, then I would want to know the following: Is the body shop a part of or certified by the dealership? To me, it almost sounds like they are trying to blame the a possible issue on you so that way they do not have to pay for anything warranty wise that won't be covered by your insurance if anything. Essentially, something is fishy and I don't like the sound of it. If, for some reason, it is found that the ABS did not kick in and the wheels did indeed lock, then that is a big saftey issue that Mitsubishi needs to be aware of. That kind of issue would clearly violate current federal laws for motor vehicle saftey and raise concern about a possible recall to see if it is some kind of faulty wiring/electronic ship/sensor.

Personally, if you did not feel the ABS kick on, then I think you may not have pressed them hard enough. You may not have had enough time, or misjudged the distance, I don't know. I wasn't there. I just know that on several occasions I have pressed my brakes hard and while the car does brake hard and come to a stop rather quickly, my ABS did not activate because the cars sensors decided that it wasn't needed for the amount of stopping power I needed.

agreed. That's why I answered your original question straight forward.

ok west coast guys, stop bashing on each other in here. u know who u r. its only allowed on kink. lol! j/k, but serious no need for the rude remarks.

Now- I dont believe that your springs have anything to with it. this means that there would have to be some kinda gyro sensor in our cars to over ride the ABS. Why would Mits. do something backwards. besides ABS sensors are thru the brake system and they dont measure load rates and rebound from springs. if so we would be throwing check lights.
Tell the guys at the body shop to change their bong water.

 

nicely said Phil.

Will do brotha!

 

KRU....What is a gyro sensor? I was looking through the navi settings and they had this gyro setting....it had a left and right sensor and reset button

 

for navi stuff it helps detect direction that ur car is traveling.
