Crown Vic Brake/ABS Woes?

...I think that maybe one of the ABS sensors is losing its magnetic field giving the abs control mod a false reading. I have them on order and I will follow up with a result. Everything I've read says that the pulsation in the pedal is almost always linked to a bad wheel speed sensor. What you're describing sounds a little like what I am experiencing...stay tuned....
Good catch on the idler arm.
Tell me more on this Vic, is it a HPP car?

Be warned the ABS sensors are a PITA in the front. Very tight fit. If the car spent any time in the rust belt, you can almost be assured the metallic portion of the sensor has rusted and caused the sensor to buldge right where it passes through the knuckle. Rear isn't as bad. The aforementioned Town Car took about 3 hours for the fronts vs about 45 minutes for the rear.

2000 Crown Vic - Brakes are soft at any speed but they do not fade. The car stops but the pedal goes down much lower than it should. When I apply the brakes I can feel the pedal pulsate as if the ABS is engaging. All the crown Vic forum regulars say it is the rotors. I say they are wrong, I measured the run out in multiple areas and they are within spec. Also, oddly enough I am not getting an ABS light even at speed. If I brake hard there is no flashing or anything. Also, all new pads at all 4 corners......by far the easiest brake pads in the world to change....anyway....
My thoughts are that either the ABS module, wheel speed sensors or ABS sensors are going bad...or all fricken' three of them....
Any of you fine gentlemen had any input on this.
