Three Amigos - ABS wheel sensor fault

Update
Changed SLABS to old one and fault still there[emoji35]

Jacked up FRH wheel, not one bit of movement! Solid as a rock!
Don’t want to buy new hubs just to check if that’s it!
Is there a way to 100% check that the ABS fault would be the hub??

Well seems you’ve checked everything else off.

Try removing ABS sensor, blast inboard hub surface with brake cleaner and compressed air?

You can swap the hub`s around as they are all the same and see if the fault moves to the side you move it to [wink11]

What do you think causes the hub to go bad?

Hub is easy to swap out. I did both my front ones in a little over an hour.

Thought about suggesting this too, then realised if it was me pulling off a wheel bearing and disturbing an axle seal of unknown age, I’d be renewing those parts.

Axle seals are seperate to the hub. Usually not disturbed while refitting

Don’t want to labour the point, but once the hub’s off, the axle is free-balling in the housing and odds on to be resting on the seal.

Not so....I did mine like this:

Pic 11 is exactly what I mean. Weight of axle is on seal. Yeah, she’ll probably be ok. But if you’re that far in....
