I need to get some new axles for my car and i cant tell if i have ABS or not. I have a 92' Civic VX Hatch and i looked in the owners manual and it doesnt say anything about my car having ABS and i dont have an ABS light on my gauges. So i was wondering if i have ABS or not and if there was any other way to tell if i have it or not. I got a feeling that i dont but i just wanna be positive so i dont mess nothing up.

probably not, someone might wanna double check
if you had abs, you would have an abs light on the dash. my excursion has one...trust me..i see it all the time.

if you want to know, go somewhere where the road is kinda slippery (don't do this with people or things around that you might hurt or if you might hurt yourself). go like 5-10mph and press on the brakes and don't let go if it. if you don't got it you won't feel nothin but if you do have it then i'm pretty sure your break peddle will feel like it's kinda pushin back. correct me if i'm wrong all.

page 194: 1994 Honda Civic owner's manual

The Anti-lock Brake System is standard equipment on the Civic EX sold in the US and EX-V sold in Canada.
It is optional on the US LX and Canadian EX models. It is not availiable on any other models.

Nope, sorry. No ABS for VX's

The easiest way to check for ABS is to climb under your car and look for wires going to your breaks. I'm sure the others are right about your car but for future reference...

from 92-95 all four doors ex's had abs, 2dr ex's either came with or without, it wasnt a option, but a factory choice.

yeah, that sounds right to me, because my EX doesn't have abs, I've driven enough abs cars to know how they act under heavy braking.
