Traction to front passenger wheel

Postby Vangoth » Wed Jan 31, 2024 2:51 pm

Hi everyone, I accidentally went to fast into a road to avoid waiting. My front passenger side corner dropped quite a lot and since I have had the problem of not getting enough traction and abs light keeps coming on.
With the force of the turn and front end dropping down is that a wheel bearing job or something else ?
Thanks all.

Maybe a broken road spring on that corner :idea:

Agreed...but would that have caused a T/C & ABS issue..?? Maybe the ABS wire has been damaged. Or the wheel bearing has shite itself causing the ABS sensor to hit and be damaged or "miss" the reluctor ring.??
