Default Installed FIGS rear tie rod end links
Got them installed today and I'm stoked that my rear Total Toe is .1! Before with the OEM links it was like 1.23. Even the alignment guy was amazed.

After installing the links, now my ABS light is on.
Anyone got this problem? I was very careful with the ABS wires.

I wonder if the alignment guy loosed up the ABS wire clamp before turning the coupler. He might have yanked on it while adjusting the toe?

The ABS wire is like a trip wire. . . The only way to fix is replace it :-/

I recall JeffTsai did a DIY on it. But I gotta check out what's going on. Hopefully the OBDII program I got can read ABS and clear the light.

UPDT?
its possible the abs sensor wire was strained, but its a magnetic pickup and should be able to be fixed if careful.
