Ask them why it wasn't a problem before the work that they did in that area, and if it normally needs replacement because of bearing work done, then why wasn't it done, and why should you pay the labor to pull everything apart again? Call your local parts store or dealer for price on part, so you know what they're charging you for labor. If it's 2 wheel drive, (repairpal.com) gives an estimate of about $75-$100 for labor & $50-$75 for parts.? Something not right here! Have you dealt with these guys before?

You will have to check ABS codes to determine what the problem is.

SOURCE: ABS light won't go off

Any chance you damaged or moved wheel speed sensor, or got grease or something on it? I'd check that & make sure, (compare to opposite side) it's clean & spaced same from wheel as other.

Just had front LH side bearing assm replaced. now ABS light is on and 4x4 light is flashing. When I put it in 4 wd i get resistance when turning w/ a loud noise

Unfortunately, for several years, various vehicles could have ABS and other of the same year, make, and model might not have. Perhaps yours is one of these.
I suppose you know the ABS system often uses magnetic sensors to determine whether ABS is necessary to interact with your stopping distance.
I think the NON-ABS has no magnets, the ABS does.
This could have included the wheel bearings.
The garage may have put the wrong bearing set on the car, and does not wish to "eat" the mistake.
In some cases, the mechanic might have to spend a few hundred dollars out of HIS pocket to fix your problem.
Some garages demand such things of their mechanics.
You should probably not drive the vehicle until it is fixed properly.
God bless your efforts.

I was wondering on a alero 99 , i replaced the brakes and a caliper and fixed my brake lines but my abs light is on but it sounds like a airplain when u drive their is no shaking or grinding in the front...

YEP BAD WHEEL BEARING WILL MAKE A ROARING LIKE NOISE WHILE IN MOTION.BAD WHEEL COULD PUT DRAG ON WHEEL WHICH CAUSE ABS LIGHT TO COME ON.YOUR WHEEL BEARING HAS THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR BUILT INTO IT.SO IF WHEEL BEARING BAD THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR PART OF ABS BRAKE SYSTEM WILL CAUSE ABS LIGHT TO COME ON IF WHEEL BEARING BAD.MAKE SURE FRONT BRAKE PADS INSTALLED CORRECTLY IF NOT. YOU WILL GET TERRIBLE WHEEL NOISE ALSO.

Why is my abs light on in my 03 chevy? and on the passanger side the front tire is roaring really bad when i drive, please help

Ok, there are sensors on your front wheel hubs. This could easily cause the abs light to turn on. The loud noise could easily be your wheel hub going bad. Easiest way to check, jack up the front of the truck, grab tire, shake back and forth and up and down. Same amout of play each way? You're wheel hub is bad.......

95 silverado 4WD ABS light

The best way is to get a scan tool and monitor the speed sensors while driving and see which one is dropping out.One other thing is when you replaced the sensors,did you clean the surface area real good?You have to remove all the rust from the surface where the sensor seats.Because sensor has to have the correct gap.When rust builds up the gap gets to big and will cause the light to come on and the brake pedal to pulsate.The other thing is the ring inside the hub bearing will have a hair line crack in it and this will cause the same result.This means you have to replace the hub bearing.Hope this helps.Good luck.

Abs light stays on funny noise in front driver side wheel

You can have a scanner read the abs code, more than likely if you have a growling or humming noise in the Left front then a wheel bearing is bad. the abs in these trucks has the front speed sensors bolted into the wheel bearings, if the bearing gets bad it will sometimes cause the light to come on due to things like broken or "shifting" tone ring, lifted sensor (air gap) due to corrosion, etc... buying an aftermarket bearing comes with a sensor already installed and so normally will fix the problem (if the scanner says that the same sensor is causing the fault of course). check the bearing by jacking up the side of the vehicle you suspect, use a jack stand to support the truck from dropping accidentally, grab the wheel on top and bottom, one hand on each, then rock the wheel to check for play, there should be none, play could indicate a faulty bearing, or some other component. now check for roughness and noise in the bearing by placing one hand on the spring, either coil spring or torsion bar, and spin the wheel by hand, if the bearing is bad you will feel a vibration coming through the spring, you may also hear the "roar" or "hum" of the bearing when it is spinning. This will tell you if the bearing is actually at fault. if you are not comfortable doing this yourself bring it to a qualified mechanic and have them check for you, also a scanner to check the code should be done also to ensure more then one problem does not exist. hope this will help you. cheers

Abs light

A common cause for an ABS light is a broken wire to one of the front wheel speed sensor, or the sensor itself is bad. The sensor is part of the hub/wheel bearing assembly. A problem in the ABS causes the traction control system to be dissabled, thus turning on that light.
