ABS light on after front CV axles replaced. Car still lurches forward sometimes.

It’s likely that one of the abs wheel sensors or cables was damaged or disconnected when the axles were replaced.

 

the lurching forward could be a number of things. A description of the specific conditions under which this happens would be helpful in providing a more accurate diagnosis

Well it was doing that lurching thing even before I did the front CVs.

 

Lurches like the brake releasing.

 

Also the ABS wires and sensors look fine from the outside.

To determine if the lurching happens due to a malfunction in the braking system or drivetrain (transmission, driveshaft, etc), shift to neutral and try braking to a stop. As you slow to a stop, keep an eye on the RPM. Listen and feel for any abnormalities in the engine/drivetrain.

 

The lurching could be a transmission issue or another issue that affects the engine idle RPM. Do you have a glowing CHECK ENGINE light?
