its very very slight but enough to annoy me. It doesn't feel as noticeable as warped rotors do (from my experience) unless they are just slightly out of wack. So I'm wondering if it's my ABS acting up.

If I wanted to test this could I just pull the fuse for my ABS and drive around to see if I notice any difference?
Also would this cause a code to pop up and is there a way to get rid of it if I decide to not use my ABS permanently?
Another thing is the brakes have been squishy ever since I have had my wheel cylinders done months ago and I've had the brakes bled since then, so could it cause my ABS to act up if they didn't bleed the ABS? and would bypassing it correct that?

sorry for all the questions. I'm a noob :p

Could be an un-even layer of pad material deposited on the rotor, or it could be rust accumulated... a picture of the rotor might help. You could resurface the rotors, but it's not really worth it, new rotors, dust seals and pads aren't that expensive.

Yes you can pull the ABS fuse and drive around to see if anything changes. With the fuse pulled the ABS is 100% disabled. However it will turn on the ABS light on on your gauge cluster.

I'm not sure if there is a way to permanently disable it or not. Mine's been on for months. I've just gotten used to it.

I suppose if you want to "permanently" disable it you coukd just leave the fuse out and then take the abs bulb out of the cluster which is easy.
