Someday I entered a sharp curve (heading to left) and did not brake, suddenly my right front wheel was out of paved surface and ran onto the gravel. I jerked my wheel to left and my vehicle began to skid. The tail of my vehicle tends to sway to my right. Then I jerked wheel to right then stopped. During this accident, I can feel the skid of vehicle body but it is still under control. And the TCS cut the driving power of front wheels properly.
Thanks for the excellent design of Max.

I was reading the comments and was getting ready to give my abs story when I realized it was ten years old, then wondered how I got here. Then ptatohed made his comment, second 10 yr old thread today. Well it's alive for now.
Right after I bought my 97 Se at auction for $500.00 I checked it out, and I realized I needed an axle and took it to my guy (Iranian, but honest to a fault) because who puts on their own axle? Lol. Anyway, he asks me if I have abs, and I say yes. A few minutes later, the guy who is doing the actual work, rushes in and says there is no abs.
There is some chatter in a foreign tongue, with some hand waving and looking in the engine bay, after which it is determined that I indeed don't have abs. Frankly I was miffed, as I read that these cars went for around 25k new. Leather seats, sunroof, power everything, so I think that most people including myself just assumes they have abs.
I'm glad this thread was resurrected, as I'm sure there are many others who think they have abs when in fact they don't. I told that to Geico when I got insurance and it's still that way with them.
As for me, I'm getting ready to put in the drive axle myself, as no one touches the car but me now, as I have the tools and the knowledge NOW, all thanks to the org. I was going to sell this car when I first got it, looked like crap, interior destroyed, but slowly coming back.
The list of things I fixed is looong. but outside of that axle (no knowledge, no tools) and the water pump in Dec. (risk, reward, of dropping a bolt in the timing cover) I've done it all.
