I've got a trick for telling if it's a front and which side. Will post a how to this evening.

That will be great, thanks.

Sorry for the delay, got hung up at works quite late the last 2 days.

Anyways, since you can get the problem to occur pretty consistently, that's a big help. You'll need a straight, fairly smooth road with minimal traffic. Drive the vehicle and apply the brakes in a fashion that makes the problem occur (hopefully under 30 and not a panic brake situation)

when doing this, take your hands off the steering wheel (keep close and ready to grab)

Note wether the steering pulls to one side or the other when the pedal starts to shake (abs kicks in)

The abs will release the brake on the wheel it thinks is slipping, this means an imbalance from side to side. The side that still has brake will pull the steering that way. Basically if the steering pulls right then the left front sensor is suspect.

Do this a few times to rule out road conditions, if it always pulls the same way on braking that kind of confirms it. If it pulls a different way each time well this doesn't work.

No pull? possibly both front sensors are no good, or the rear sensor or?

This all assumes the vehicle drives straight and true to begin with.

If the above test is inconclusive, you will need a scanner or have to shotgun it.

Thanks, that makes perfect sense.

I haven't fooled with it since pulling the fuse to be honest.

You can leave it out. But BUT you lose abs, and have a light on.

Change the fluid.

I flushed the system with clean regular power steering fluid (replaced the steering pump on mine) and filled with MOPAR +4 POWER STEERING FLUID ($9.99 a qt at Pep Boys before the 20% off coupon) while running the returns into a bucket and keeping the pump full with a helper turning the steering wheel and pumping the brakes and the cold weather noise is pretty much GONE ...

Did that when I replaced the pump... I had to flush the system for it to be covered under warranty. Made no difference at all.
