I'm sure hoping that this car has ABS or all four rotors are warped which is
unlikely. I've always ridden in front, but I think that I'll take a back
seat on the issue when next we hit the road. It feels like pulsing is
coming from there as well as the front.

I haven't checked under the hood for more than a few seconds, but I'll
check
under there to see whether or not there's any ABS hardware on the
driver's
side fender. I'm willing to bet that it's not there judging by Herr

I believe it has ABS. But it's easy to tell, is there an ABS valve

Hi, Larry.
I didn't even think of the ABS possibility. Now that I think of it, it
seems like the pulsing is randem through the car, not the once per rev like
a warped rotor. I'll have to get it out on the road and check into this a
little further. Also, it does only seem to be noticed under
Hi Kevin,'
If you have ABS the pulsing can be caused by the need for the sensors to
be cleaned - our '91 300D pulsed when applying the brakes fairly hard -
after 6 months of use the pulsing stopped. The W124 "Bible" suggests trash
builds up on the ABS sensors near the wheels causing the pu
