    well idk. from what i understand with the magnasteer variable ratio equipped GPs, when abs light comes on, you can forget about variable ratio steering at low speeds. it works fine while driving. and i KNOW its not the pump or rack. because if i mess with the wires and get the light to go out, i can steer in a parking lot with my pinky. lol

    for the life of me i cant tell the difference, if i even have variable assist, my wheel turns like butter full time. lol and i most defiantly have magna steer.

    i understand that if you go to a dealership they can tune it to any one of 3 settings of firmness. but of course they want money to do it and from what ive read up on most people say its not worth messing around with as they cant tell the difference from one setting to another.

    and if you can diddle your wires and the lights go off, you have wire problems, and most likely not a hub sensor. if you haven't tried to clean up the plugs and/or the wires, i'd look at that stuff first. make sure the wires are in good shape too, no cracks or missing insulation.
