Hello all , I need some help my right hand front tc / abs sensor keeps on lifting up about 10mm causing my light to come on ! I have rebuilt my swivel hub so all new parts apart from sensor . It was happening before rebuild and now after rebuild . I push the sensor down but it only last about 2 km. any ideas ??
Cheers

Speaking from D2 experience but is not secured by a bolt? I guess the other option if not is the good old silkaflex/silicone sealant to keep it in place?

Just reading the WSM for a disco and the process is to push the sensor in until it actually contacts the ring. When it's driven the sensor will be pushed out to the right place. I guess you might substitute spinning the wheel to driving and then seal in place?

Just shooting in the dark without knowing what year the vehicle is

Did you refit the bushing that holds tension on it when you put it back together?

Is there enough slack in the ABS harness to account for suspension/steering travel? The harness could be pulling the sensor out of position causing the large air gap and illuminating the MIL?
