You damaged an ABS sensor or wire.

Pull the code... Any decent obdii reader should help pinpoint the problem circuit.

May need TIS for ABS, it is real cheap on ebay if you just want to read codes.

Try unplugging your battery for 2 minutes and plugging it back in and see if that solves the issue.

Always try to start with the cheapest method first before spending $$$ on something you may not need.

I see afs off too.... installer might have also put leveling arm back wrong.

gs350 might be right... broken abs sensor (install error?) Or they just didnt connect it when reassembling.

Now the car drives like a dream after everything was installed but now this problem. Anyone had this problem after replacing struts? Any suggestions and solutions to this problem are greatly appreciated, thanks.

out of curiosity....what symptoms were present that suggested you needed new struts? How much did they cost you? How many miles were on the original struts?

Thanks!

thanks for the info! I'm at 140k, so I need to keep an eye out for that.
