I have a 92 VE, does it have 4 wheel abs or is it 2 wheel? I know I have discs all around and abs on the front, but is there abs in the back too? I'm assuming there is...

 

my 94 ve se does not have abs. thank GOD. i hate abs.

 

if you have 4 lines in and 4 lines out of your ABS box then i can only conclude that it's 4wheel ABS. also you have speed sensors in the rear wheel which further supports my hypothesis. I could be wrong but i haven't even ever heard of 2wheel ABS before. on any car.. but i'm guessing it's out there somewhere.

 

It's definitely out there. I ask b/c I filling out an auto insurance report and they ask about safety features and one of them is if you have 2 wheel or 4 wheel abs. There are 4 lines coming out of my abs box thing so I was pretty sure I have 4 wheel.

 

tell them 4. you will get a cheaper rate.

 

The ABS computer has to know. Run ABS self diag and it will tell if some wheels are missing

 

The early 1st gen systems had only 2-wheel ABS.. Namely Chevy/Dodge pickup trucks and whatnot where they were prone to lock up the rear end when the drums were cold and no load in the bad. sticky brake shoes + light rear axle = skidding into intersections ***-first. been there, done that. eeek!


ALL Maximas that have ABS have 4-wheel ABS.

 

thanks!

 

Lots of vehicles in the early days of ABS had only 2 wheel systems. Especially trucks. Most trucks only had RW ABS.

 

RW abs huh, weird, was that so the rear wheels wouldn't lock up if braking on a turn (and with no weight in the bed) and spin the truck around?

 

that and in a straight line. If you lock only your rear wheels up your back end will try to become your front end.

 

Yup.. read my post above again... that was effin scary. good thing nobody was coming the other way!

 

Ummm.... no abs for me!!! or so i think
