Not to thread jack. I have an ABS issue. I used a 98 ABS sensor (since it was on the hub) on the rear passenger side of the 93 SS. The ABS is going crazy.

I moved your post since it wasn't really related to the previous topic.
Can you provide some additional details on what exactly you did and what exactly the problems you are experiencing.

ABS light comes on and the pedal at a dead stop acts like ABS is engaging and the brake pedal goes nuts.
Is there a difference in OHM's or anything between the sensors causing the ABS pump to get a wrong reading from the 98 Legacy ABS sensors?

From what I can tell from the parts book, there are two different types of sensor assemblies for the 95-99 Legacies. I don't quite know what the difference is, and it may just be in the assembly, since you can't buy just the sensor. But the majority of the parts should be compatible with the first gen Legacy.
Maybe you got a bad used sensor. Have you tried disconnecting the sensor to see if the ABS pump continues to run?

I have not yet. I was going to pull some first gen ABS Sensors from the junkyard. Hopefully find one that isn't super glued in and try that. I will try and see if the pump continues to run
