My 92 astro has ABS, but I don't know if it is all wheel or just rear wheel. How do I tell?
I need to get new brake rotors and the parts house says there are 2 different kind. One for with All wheel abs and one for rear wheel abs.
I won't have the luxury of removing the parts and taking them in for comparison.
ABS - all wheel or just rear wheel?

if you can, roll under there and see if there are wires on the brake dust sheild behind the rotors. if there is, you'll have front, if not.. it's just rear you'll be sporting.
these wires are not to be confused with the brake hoses on the caliper.

ABS or Not...
I believe if memory serves me correct, that '91 and on were four wheel ABS. The General didn't like the way the rear wheel only ABS vehicles reacted on the Black Lake at Milford, they thought that people might start to get sue-happy with only rear wheel ABS, so they footed the bill to modify for four wheel ABS...
