Hey guys I'm having issues with my 2003 f150. The truck is 4x4 with a 6" fabtech lift and 35's. ever since I bought the truck 2 years ago (bought it lifted) I've had nothing but problems with it. The truck had about 60k on it when I bought it. Since then I have only put maybe 15k on it. I have had to replace the passenger side axle housing in the front, change the upper and lower ball joints, new tierod ends, 2 half shafts in the front, front and rear driveshaft universals, front calipers, and both front wheel bearings. Also after a few weeks of owning I ran into the dreaded issue of the spark plug blowing out of the head which lead me to helicoil it. Now that I have that all out of the way the current issue I'm having is with the ABS. A few months back I realized my wheel bearing was on its way out, soon my abs light came on and I parked the truck. I know that the wheel bearing can trip the abs sensor so I figured that could be it. I changed the wheel bearing and drove for a few weeks and the abs light came back on. But this time at really slow speeds while braking it would pull to the right when almost at a complete stop. So I figured it was a bad caliper. I changed them both. A week later, still on. Then the passenger side wheel bearing went a few weeks later and I changed that. Now we are here. It could be a faulty abs sensor but since both wheel bearing are only a few months old, and I've been having this problem prior to changing them I'm not sure what else it could be. Does anyone have any suggestions short of getting the ABS scanned?

 

Welcome to the forum.

These trucks do not like large lifts and heavy wheels/tires. Thus the worn out front end components.

You need to scan for abs codes to determine what is causing the error.
