abs need abs pad?

[neck]

do abs brakes need abs pads?

there seems to be pads for abs and pads for non abs. i take it if i put non abs pads in abs brakes.. abs will nto work.

There's no difference, ABS is a system; it still uses the same brake caliper.

I believe if a shop ask and you say non-abs, they automatically assume you have drum brakes instead.

when i bought my PBR pads, it asked specifies w abs and w/o abs. my abs don't work and i was wondering if it could be the wrong pads.

If it fits on the bracket, then don't sweat it.

went to dealer.. they told me it's working fine. but it dun work.

That's another problem unrelated to your brake pads.

Have you ever try slamming the brakes at 120mph? Maybe you're just not driving fast enough for ABS to do its job.

malfunctioning sensors? Have a technician pull codes.

it seems that abs stopped working after i changed the pads.

and actually.. i slammed the brakes doing 120 mph.. j/k.. but i drive on snow and wet surfaces and it does not work... it simply locks even when travelling high speeds...


Phi: no abs light on.
