I'm now very suspicious of my s60's antilocks.

Since the day I got this ('01, 2.4) car, on entering my driveway
at a skew with the brakes on and hitting a small swail, the front
brakes make a loud noise like a "boingggggg". I finally figured
out it was the brakes, not the suspension falling apart. Ok.

But yesterday I was out on snow-covered roads. The car handled
fine, good tires, careful driving, etc, but when I needed to stop
absolutely nothing happened except the front end exploded in that
same falling-apart "boingggg" noise that I hear on entering my
drive.

Thankfully I didn't get in an accident, traffic was light, but it
was unnerving. I really like to have control of the car, and for
a moment I certainly wasn't.

I'm a good driver, I've done some incredible escape maneuvers in
critical situations, and thank God I am unscathed as yet. I
really wish the car didn't have antilocks, but lacking that, does
anyone have insight into what might be going on here?

Thanks,
Paul
