I have an ST, but the auto parts store asked if i had ABS or not? how do I tell?
I searched the forum for bit but found nothing
thanks!

On the passenger side of your engine bay, is there a unit right next to the power steering reservoir like the one in the picture shown below:

on mine, when you turn the key the abs light comes up on the dash for a few seconds.

wait did the ST's even come with ABS? or was it only an option on the GT's?

you know im not sure...my friend with an st doesnt have it so i have no idea.. i would say the best way to find out is pop the hood or look for the abs light.

Yeah, if you dont have the actuator its pretty safe to assume that you do not have it.

no abs

yeah I dont have whatever that box is, as far as I have ever seen. And Ive nver seen an abs light, so is it safe to assume I dont have it?
Just wondering for a new master, because there is a few different options, but the auto place didnt seem to know much more than I could find on my own lol.
thanks for the quick help

if you dont have that box, then you dont have ABS at all. Glad to see that the picture helped!

The ABS for a 7AFE might be somewhere else because the power steering reservoir for mine is in the back kind of behind the block. Not like in that picture.

even if the box were in a different place, all of the lines would need to go into it right?
I looked at where all my brake lines go off the master, and they go in different directions, not seeming to meet anywhere (i assume they would have to meet at the "box" for abs right?

Are you talking about those metal lines on the passenger side?

yea its a box with 4 metal lines coming out of it.

Then if there's metal lines along the passenger side, you've got ABS right? Nothing else has metal lines?

it looks like the box in the pic above. the one in the middle of the power st. and window wash. i think the lines you are talking about are for the air con. dont quote me on that though.

After I take care of some errands around campus I'm gonna go out to my car and look.

when you turn your key just one click does and abs light come on?

I dont have abs, looked for the box and found nothing, turned the key, and no abs light.
this isnt my dd, but i'm trying to replace like everything possible. I got a new master, and 2 new calipers (and pads). bench bled the master and then bled the brakes from furthest to closest...
but they stillll! feel mushy (I think they feel a little better than before the new master, but not by much at all)
Any ideas?
Im going to bleed them again tomorrow when its bright out, but I just dont know what else could be wrong?
As far as i can tell there are no leaks in the system. I left it over night with paper under it, and actually pressed the brakes a few different times to see if it would force any fluid out...And no fluid or wet signs were on the floor or the wheels after a day. So I dont think there is a leak? Is it possible to have a small enough leak where fluid doesnt get out, but air can get in?

thanks again for any help, need the basics to be functional before I can really get "into" the car

I has no ABS either D:

bump still wondering what could be wrong? New master/ calipers/ no leaks? still mushy pedal
