The Lucas Girling SCS was recently introduced as an anti-lock option on Ford's front-wheel-drive Escort and Orion, although the system is suitable for most light, front-wheeldrive cars. The system only senses when the front wheels are about to lock, although a reduction in pressure at a front wheel is coupled with a proportionally smaller reduction at the diagonally opposite rear one to keep the car straight.
