Wheel speed sensor? Hard to replace?
Wednesday, August 30, 2006 10:01 AM
It's apparently taken a crap on me in the right front wheel. I was just wondering where it was located, how hard it was to change out, and what it would cost me. Anyone done this or have any info on it? Thanks.

Okay there is NO car listed in your profile, NO car listed in your post. I have no clue what kind of car we are talking about, what year, or anything.

Before repalcing any sensor, make sure all wiring is good.

Ha, oh yeah, I'm used to being on my other car forum where everyone already knows

It's a 97 cavy 2.4L and there's no doubt that it's the sensor. I've had a Tech1 diagnostics machine hooked up to it.

There are speed sensors on each wheel that monitor for the ABS system. I'm not talking about the speedometer sensor that is located in the tranny.

Could be that too but I'm preparing for the worst case scenario should I have to replace it and would like to know the level of difficulty as my chilton manual says to make sure it's "properly aligned and lays flat against the bosses on the knuckle". I don't know whether this is a DUHH sort of thing or whether or it is actually troublesome to get it perfectly aligned.

Ehh, I'm not usually one for buying used sensors. Just asking for trouble there. I appreciate the offer though.
