Exclamation VERY WIERD ABS problem...HELP..

ok here goes..

I have an '88 milano verde with the ABS system. I did a search and couldnt find anything to this effect. Now the car has been taken in due to the tire wear problem which has been talked about in a previous thread. new rubbers have been mounted and here is the brand new problem...

The car breaks on a mind of its own. Sometimes it will break fine and perfectly straight and stay in the lane, but now due to the new tread on the tires, the car will sometimes shoot to the left or sometimes shoot the right leaving you guessing on which way you're going to have to hold the wheel. My mechanic has a special Alfa tool to check the pressure to each brake or something to that effect..I'm still very confused about what is going on.

Anyone ever experience this?
Anyone know what I am talking about?

Please let me know.
Any input is helpful right now.
Thanks alot guys

Sounds like your front rubber flex brake lines have collapsed internally. This is a typical problem with age. I would simply try replace the two front flex lines.
