It feels like I have a problem with my front brakes locking up. I'm not 100% sure what exactly is going on, but based on my experience while driving (average: 35+ mph) the car starts to jerk towards the right as if i'm pumping on the brakes violently. Brakes work fine when I press the brake pedal and this problem occurs while driving, not while applying the brakes. It seems as if only the front brake/s are affected. Prior to this problem I had a tire blowout in the freeway. Drove my car with the blown tire till I reached a tire shop. It seemed fine at first but then started its jerking. The problem was intermittent but noticed it is getting worse.

Has anyone seen this or heard of this before?

 

Could be the abs sensor. Mine activates while in turns.

 

Yes sounds about right.

 

The sensor might be ok, but there could be contamination inside where the sensor takes its readings. If the signal is not received as usual, say due to a piece of rubber stuck in there, the car goes into panic mode thinking your wheel locked up and it activates abs. Another possibility is that the wheel bearing was damaged during the blowout and the sensor is no longer able to get the reading it's looking for (wheel bearing has polarized parts, that's how the abs sensor knows the speed of the wheel.
