I suspect your ABS requires higher PSI to bleed vs non-ABS. But that's
hearsay and a guess, not based on my experience.
I bought the rubber domes from the stealer. As I recall, they are part of
the low-fluid sensor system. The old domes just pry up; they snap on or in
(don't recall detail). G
And liability/insurance costs plus overhead spread over very low volume, at

It depends on where/how you source them. Yes, they can be rather expensive.
