Abs.....
Hey guys. I just bought a 2006 f-250 xlt with the 5.4 4x4. Bought the truck got it on the highway and it had a wobble. Took it to a shop and they said front passenger wheel bearing. Bought the part at a online store had the shop replace for me and now my abs light is on. Hub came with a new sensor. They tried with the old sensor and abs light is still on. Wanting to know if anybody else had this problem and how they fixed it. This weekend im going to to take it back apart to inspect the parts. But other than that im stumped.

Wild guess here (not really).....the shop damaged the the harness or sensor connector. No ABS light before the repair, ABS light as soon as you pick up the truck. Pretty straightforward.
If they won't fix what they caused, check the pin fitment at the harness connector.

This is exactly the type of scenario that can play out, where a customer supplies a part and requests installation. As a dealership technician myself, I'm inclined to agree with the shop's conclusion that the supplied part is the likely cause of the ABS light on. The dilemma here, is the shop cannot be held responsible for a bad out of box part. You're only recourse now, is to let the shop obtain the replacement part to resolve your issue.

the shop wanted $690 for part and labor. Wanted $275 just for labor i got the part for $124 including shipping. I paid them to do the labor cuz i live in ny and its a little chilly this time of year. Haha can the actual bearing/ hub assembly or is it something else? I dont see how the bearing is the problem. Thanks guys i really Appreciate the input and advice.
