I know what ABS does. The problem is, is that I do slide in slush and snow, and something kicks in to drop my revs, leaving my speed open to however fast physics wants me to move. I don't have steering control when my ABS kicks in either. Ya know... It's kinda scary when you're sliding downhill, doing about 15 mph into a curve where there are parked cars, and you can't stop yourself. The only thing that saved me was the dryer pavement at the bottom of the hill... which happened to be about 15 feet from the cars. I only want to know if this is a normal thing for these Ludes, or if MY car is the one that has decided to be snafu. And, if it is a problem, what should I do about it, ie. put a new ABS system in or a manually controlled bias system, or just fix the problem? Besides, as far as I can tell (and I have looked at it as best I can), the ABS is somehow connected to the slave cylinder and transaxle. I could be wrong.
