My 2wd saff has one solid brake pedal, you can blow on the pedal and it will nose dive!

you can also hear the ABS making lots of noises like clicking, it pulls to the left under braking and sometimes the ABS light comes on

What can this be? the ABS unit it self or the discs?

 

weird..as yday after half an hours worth of driving my pedal just got rock solid too..no lights came on got in the fecker this morning and all is fine again..sorry this post is not much help.

 

I would look for a seized caliper on the opposite side to which it is pulling.

thanks for the replies

i dont think its a siezed caliper, although i will not rule that out. The ABS system is making a lot of noise even when not braking and idling etc

 

is the brake fluid level OK ?

 

Yes, checked that too

 

Faulty ABS pump?

 

if that is the case is there a constant humming noise?

 

I re read your post, I would check the rings on the wheels to make sure they have nice distinct gpas between the segments, and are not covered with rust, maybe the abs is spassing out not being able to read/compare the speed of the wheel.

i had a similar problem where the pedal sometimes went rock hard and the brakes would either lock up ot not work at all and it turned out to be a faulty wheel speed sensor

 

dodgy sensor.

 

The sensor goes in to the hub doesnt it?

 

Yes.

 

i had same prob years ago on my 2wd i didn't have a turbo heat shield on and it over heated the abs pump unit
