Mopar part number r4746415, not the above mentioned pump. The last time I submitted my paper work in september.

Abs always activates at speeds over 45 MPH, producing a loud clicking, increasing stopping distance and pulling car sharply to right and left. Check ABS light comes on after 10 minutes of driving.
