Any ideas what is causing my 1990 900 with ABS to pull to > one side when I make a panic stop? Sure. It means that one of the front brakes (the one on the side that you turn toward) is grabbing the brake rotor harder than the opposite one. This could be because one is malfunctioning and grabbing too much or the off side s not grabbing enough. > I hear that it can be caused by a sticking > caliper, but I suspect that it is something to do with the ABS system. Sticking calipers tend to cause the brake pad to drag during non-braking times which would cause the steering to pull when not braking. Left long enough they overheat the rotor which then warps and eventually causes wild pulsation whenever driving. > Is there > an easy way to "turn off" the ABS system and eliminate it as the cause of the > problem? Nope. But I really doubt that is the problem anyway. -Fred W
