    Can a bad strut mount cause an abs light to go on? I hear a clicking in the right stut area and when I turn I can hear it. Already have had wheel hubs on both sides doen, new rack and pion, struts are 2 years old. Alignment done a month ago, tires balanced and rotated, new tie rod ends.

    no,

    the clicking could be a cv axle.

    scan the car and see exactly what hub is bad, you'll need a ABS scanner.

    no, it cant. I would have the codes read and see what sensor is throwing the code and check the firing. and yeah what she said above me.

    Make sure your strut mount nuts are tight.

    Could the abs light go on for a bad strut. I am just trying to make sure it is the cv joints because I am still deciding to either spend the money for the abs scan or use that money for a cv joint. My dad checked the cv joint and said it was fine but can he miss something internally in the joint..

    Well turned out to be a bad wheel assembly on the driver side. I replaced both on the front like a year ago so I guess I got a cheap one. As for the popping in the strut, I don't know what that is but might need a new strut mount or strut. We will see what happens
