ABS Parts

[rbaczek]

I posted on the big board, but I looking for ABS parts. Seems Ford is no longer selling the components. You must by the entire assembly to replace a failed component. I'm looking for the ABS Pressure Accumulator. None of the parts companies, i.e. Kragen, Napa, Pep Boys, knows what I'm talking about. Used parts of that nature may be unreliable. Any Help.

I have one got one thinking mine was bad and it was not bad I have the short nippled one so it is able to work on the long or short nippled abs system.Sent me a email and We will talk about shipping and price. 5.0eater@attbi.com

Thanks all. Contacted Prior Manufacturing this morning. Pressure Accumulator is $99.99 + S&H. The entire actuator assembly is $403.95 with $100 core. You can check their web site for what you need, but call for the parts. Now do I want to replace the entire actuator assembly for $300 more. I think that may be the better option.

Has anyone replaced their's (DIY). How hard is it. Looks pretty simple from what I can see.

PS: Prior is www.priorman.com

If it ain't broke don't fix it. The acculm is easy to replace just unscrew the old one, put fluid on the o ring and screw it in hand tight firm. thats it. the whole assy is not that complicated but it isn't a cake walk either. the bolts holding it in are under the dash, remove the wipers, cowl. all the lines( their a variety of sizes also) then you have to bleed the brakes. Rears with the key on ,fronts key off. But its your choice.

BTW, the accumulator is still available separately from the assembly through Ford, but it is more money there than buying from Prior.

Thanks to all for your help. Got the Pressure Accumulator from Prior ($99+s/h+tax). Installed yesterday. The binders work like a new car!!
