This is a newbie question, but I have never had to figure this out before now. I have a 1996 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD, and I need to know whether it comes with ABS or not, because I have to replace one of my axles.
 
stick your head under there and look and see if there is a sensor on the back of the hub, or the axel will have a bunch of little blocks and a straight line all the way around the end that goes into the hub, but the best way to tell is get down there and look for the sensor, if its there you got it if not you dont, simple as that
 
pop hood, check driver side fenderwell under ps res. see a black box with hard lines? abs.
 
At key on the ABS light will self test..no ABS light in cluster..no ABS [ unless the cluster was replaced]

Yup - no light no abs, also easy way to disable is to pull the light from the cluster. First thing abs checks for is a good bulb, no bulb, defaults to non-abs.
Only difference in axles is a notched ring that fits in spindle, running abs axles in non abs is not a problem. But if you have abs you need the notched ring.
