Another WTF moment (ABS)
Doing some work on the "Garage Queen" replacing U Joints (NOS Spicers 
). Then I see this ......
Soo, that's getting replaced and I need to figure out why I didn't see my ABS BRAKE warning light come. Now that I think of it I haven't heard the ABS pump in quite a while...

Wow you would think it would light up as soon as your abs does a self test. I also see a zerks fitting on one of your bushings are those delron bushings.

Btw...you should probably check and see if the PO left the "Service ABS" bulb in place. Wouldn't be surprised the if the bulb vanished in order to "eliminate" a pesky glowing warning.

The Zerks I installed with the polyurethane bushings. I've got a mini grease gun filled with Silicone grease. All the bushings have a small channel cut into them to distribute the grease. I don't hear any squeaks even on the back-road (read: rough) crawl to my home every night. Heims are on the wish list, for now.
The PO had nothing to do with this girl. I've owned her for twenty years. It's been off the road for while last year for the trans swap (and other projects). I'm on my way out to thew garage now, as I haven't even started to diagnose it. It might just be just a simple fuse.
I'm just amazed how badly the ABS sensor wire deteriorated. Not only did it break, but there's a good 6" missing from one end to the other.
