well i helped my friend install new axles on his Legend. Was pretty straight forward as i have done axles on my crx plenty of times. The only thing different was the fact that his had abs. Well we got them installed and everything seemed peachy. But we test drove it and whenever you step on the brakes from a higher speed, the brake pedal fluctuates and it feels like the abs is kicking in. The abs light is also on. We cleaned off the abs sensors and still no difference. What could we have fucked up to do this? I really don't know much about abs so any info is really helpful thanks.

Did you install the ABS ring on the new axles?

its not an ABS ring, its a wheel speed sensor that you probably screwed up

thats what i'm thinking, theres really nothing else we could have messed up except one of those sensors.

What trouble code does it have stored?

When you disconnected the lower ball joint and took the axle out, did you swing the rotor and all that **** out of the way? Towards the top of the upper control arm there is the speed sensor wire that only has a small amount of free play. If you swung the rotor assembly out of the way too much or a little too hard then you can break the wire inside the insulator. You will need to install a new wheel speed sensor to fix this. Just check the code and see what ya have. You can also check resistance and continuity in the speed sensor if you have a DVOM. Good luck
