The cables are universal but normally go by length of cable if the lengths are different. When the hubs were replaced, did the hubs get replaced with the ones that are for ABS? the ones for abs will have a ring of teeth so the sensor can read the hub speed.
Did you replace the front and rear or just the front? Rear brakes can make the pulsation as well. Also if your ABS system is activating that could be described as a "pulsation". The ABS problem is usually caused by a bad wheel speed sensor or ABS module failure. ABS modules can be rebuilt (see ebay BBA-Reman) Wheel speed sensors are available at most auto parts stores. Some Saabs require the replacement of the whole hub assembly.
My Buick had an ABS problem and since I had new brakes installed my mechanic disconnected the wiring. You still have full brakes and they will work fine but the ABS part won't work. Since i did not want to spend a lot of money I drove it that way for about three years. ABS is just an addition to help but not all cars have it.
with these lights on then you will have to see what codes are in the abs and pcm module to find out what the problems are.the abs module will activate when the traction control lights come on.this can also cause a noise and pulsate in the brakes pedal.
HAVE THE ABS SYSTEM CHECKED FOR CODES FIRST. I SUSPECT YOU HAVE A HUB WHEEL SPEED SENSOR BAD. AT FIRST THEY WILL HAVE AN ERRATIC SIGNAL THEN THEY SOMETIMES QUIT ALL TOGETHER. THE SYSTEM THINKS A WHEEL IS SKIDDING THAT IS WHY THE ABS ACTIVATES.
IF YOU HAVE A HUB WHINING THAT IS A POSSIBLE PLACE TO START.
Joe it is common for the brakes to moan when they wear down and sometimes they will squeak, try replacing the front pads and lubing the shafts on the calipers install anti squeal on the back of the pads, the ABS device would not cause noise as they are just a ring with a magnet and the reluctor ring spins and the magnet detects the spinning of the reluctor ring, they don't even touch and are stationary in place where they are mounted. There is a possibility that the brake fluid is dirty and could cause the abs motor to groan but you would just have to flush the system, When you don't put your foot in it on the brakes it will make some noise even new, I have a 2008 ford ranger that makes the same noise and the brakes are fine. You will have to adjust your braking habits to stop the noise. You can change the pads and that will help but not for long, be sure when you are operating your brakes press firmly on the pedal until you stop. If the brakes make noise after you let up on the pedal then the caliper parts need to be cleaned and lubed, however it is not a safety issue.
The vibration is coming from your rotors. You can either replace them or have them miked to see if they can be turned. For the left to right play you should jack it up and check the lower and uper control arm bushings as they might have osme play in them as well. While you are there u will be able to see if the wheel bearing is loose, you will be bale to fix that when you do the rotors. The brakes lights are from low fluid or faulty Abs sensors that are attached to the front hub, this will be easy to see as the only wires running to the hub right behind the rotors.
Heres hopping that thouse rotors can be turned :)
good luck
That is just the ABS system at work. It is supposed to prevent your wheels from locking which often makes the brake pulsate, especially in wet weather or or snow or ice. The only way to really stop this is to disable to ABS by unplugging it and removing the fuse. This will make the ABS light appear in your dash, but your brakes will stop pulsating.
i think it is abs pulled fuse and it stopped doing it
