new ABS controller unit for $350 or less? S70 1998

Hi all,

I was wondering where one can get a new ABS controller unit for $350 or less. This is for a '98 S70 GLT.

Thanks in advance.

You can get two ABS units for $350.00 including shipping. LOL, I'm laughing, but it is not a joke.
Here's how.
All the ABS control units (Installed on 96 and newer 850, 70 series and S80 models) will eventually fail after they reach 65,000 miles or 5 years. The average is 85,000 miles and/or 6 years for failures.
The erratic ABS light and/or no trouble codes is an indication of a defective ABS unit.
A dealer will charge from $60.0 to $120.00 to diagnose the problem and about 95% of the cases the mechanic will recommend to replace the ABS control unit.

Here's more information on this issue and a replacement alternative.

why pay even that much.

Remove the unit yourself and have it repaired for about $135. Works as good as new.

Do a search on ABS module failures and you"l find Victor's site.
