    Wrench ABS and drive shaft U joints

    My ABS light is on it is registering codes 12 and 44.
    I think it is the ABS module.
    Does any one know where to find one or if another manufactures is compatible?
    Like Audi or Nissan?

    Also I wanted to change the drive shaft universal joints and while I think I found the front one no one seems to have the rear?

    Does any one have a solution to the U joint supply?

    Thanks for any help you all can give me.
    This is my first VX and I am finding out that parts are hard to find!

    Start reading this thread at about post #44. We've had lots of discussions on the ABS failure, and found a great option - Repair exisiting module with lifetime warranty for $49!!
    http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...bs+ebay&page=2

    In a nutshell - there's a company on ebay that rebuilds hundreds of these ABS units from all types of cars. Several VX owners have now used him and they work perfectly - - and have a lifetime gaurantee!!

    Here's the current ebay listing: (Doesn't matter that it says Trooper - he fixes the VX one under this too).

    IIRC, some folks also found out that the ABS module from a Durango works on the VX too. The search function on the home page should help you find that thread.

    One of our members was looking into having the U joints on the drive shaft replaced with CV joints. Maybe contact LittleBeast to see what he found out.

    She spends her whole post talking about one solution & then includes a link to a different solution ... & I'm the slow one???

    That's just not right!!!

    Just so that I'm not accused of thread jacking though:

    One final solution is to just remove the ABS light. The ABS on our rigs is ... well ... less than optimal. I feel much safer with mine disabled.
