- Not just Nissan. All ABS systems have the consequence of a "grinding." I
- found this very unremarkable the first time I used ABS; of course, that was
- on snow-covered gravel, and a grinding noise would have happened anyway. So
- get used to it; you have a lot of very rapidly oscillating mechanical doo-
- dads at work and some odd noise is to be expected.
