abs brakes will not shake the steering whel, only make your brake pedal viberate very quickley, "not a pules of strobe" if the wheel is shaking you have warpped rotors. have your brakes checked at a brake shop. most will preform an insp. and est. for free, ie- midas, monroe, ect... call arount and see if they can do it. let us know how you make out.

thanks and I dont really trust midas and I would most likely have the repairs done at school. that is why im asking the question because I was looking at the abs brakes of a car and they where working way to fast than normal. I was just wondering if anyone knew why. thanx for the rotor info but that I already knew. If i have anymore questions I will surely ask again.take care

you say they are acting too fast, do you mean they come on just befor a complete stop? if so it may be a wheel sensor, but that concern happens only just befor car comes to a stop. slower than 10 miles per hour.

check alignment and front end
