Hi,
I hit a small water way ditch when i was driving at my friend's apartment complex. When i heard it, i heard a glunk noise, i thought it was the X-brace below my car on the front right side. Immediatly after that, when hit my brake going 5mph, my front right brake went crazy. The ABS would immediatedly engage. The left would brake normally while the right is going crazy with the abs.

So I tried removing the ABS fuses. At first, the right would lock up half way on the braking stroke. When I would come up to a stop sign, i would leave one trail of skid mark from the front right brake. After a few stops, its seemed to get better. I had to track my car at Streets of Willow, and didn't notice any real problem i was braking. It seemed pretty equal, right and left.

Its been a week now without the ABS. I still get locking up on the front right when i brake hard.

The funny thing is, the BRAKE light or the ABS light are not on when the fuses are in place. With out the fuses, the lights would come on. With the fuses back, the lights are off, but craziness with the abs on the right brake.

Any suggestions on what to do??? I'm planning on taking of my front right caliper and see if anything is wrong.

um... just a wild guess, but your abs sensor could have been damaged when you hit the pothole. if you look behind the caliper there should be a black wire with a white stripe on it (i believe so). thats your abs line, follow it until you get the abs sensor on the back of the caliper. see if its damaged. sorry about the description, but its the best i can give.
