Abs Driveshaft

[perkypig]

Hello I took my car into garage for MOT and needed new brake pipes and linkages on front also few other bits. Got car out and next morning noticed ABS warning light so back to garage put on the machine said faulty ABS sensor drivers side so had new one got back and fine on drive home then driving next day and it comes back on again. So back to garage and they have said the ring on drive shaft is split/ broken so I need a new driveshaft quoted me

The ABS ring is part of the cv joint. These can be bought and swopped independently of the complete driveshaft.

Even better still, you can buy the ABS ring separately from the CV joint. If you are careful, you can replace it by undoing the driveshaft end bolt and bottom ball joint and removing the driveshaft from the hub end only. Renew the driveshaft end bolt on reassembly.

 

Check out fleabay for a few sellers of these ABS rings.

If it's a front one

Remove wheel 19mm socket, put car into gear ,Then undo Driveshaft bolt 27mm to about 3rd out

 

Now turn put gear into neutral & steering to full lock then gently tap to push out drive shaft out unscrewing bolt a little more each tap.

 

Wire bush the hub,tap on a new ring without removing any thing else.

 

Now put car back into gear tighten hub nut torq setiing 150nm then Angle tighten 90 degree. Its is recommended to replace bolt

I've got one of these to change too cyborg, from same seller too. :18:

 

Don't you have to pop the bottom ball joint to get the driveshaft out?

Regards the reluctor ring fitting on the front cv ;

I read the preceeding words of wisdom and proceeded to change the offside reluctor ring on a 98 diesel,

as someone wrotr; the bottom joint does not need splitting, but full lock on the steering is required to move the shaft out of position to get the ring to slip over, persevere with it if necessary raise the mcpherson up and down while the body of the car is raised to find a loosest position.

The ring can be found on ebay for a tenner plus
