Want this question answered?
I have 1997 Nissan Maxima. You ned to replace the entire hub assembly. My problem is that they discontinued the 1997 hub assembly and the suggested replacement part's ABS ring is 4MM taller therefore the ABS sensor cannot clear the ABS ring. Any ideas on this one?
The ABS Sensor is located inside of the hub, which is replacable only by replacing the entire hub assembly as a unit.
It will bolt in but the abs light will illuminate and the abs will not function.
The ABS sensor is built in to the wheel hub, if its bad, you have to replace the whole wheel hub, they run about $90-120 depending on brand and where you get it.
remove wheel, caliper,brakes,rotor. unplug abs connector and unbolt hub. install is reverse.

The ABS sensor on ALL year Chevy Venture vans is located in the hub on the Left and right front tires. If the sensor is failing you unfortunately have to replace the entire hub. The barrings and the sensor are all sealed inside the hub. The ABS electrical connector is just behind the hub under the CV axle.
this is dependent on if the ring is "sweated" on or bolt on .... if its bolt on then remove the wheel , take off the brake caliper and the caliper holder , undo the large nut , that holds on the hub and remove . then unbolt the two bolts that hold on the abs ring and replace .... then refit everything you took off .
abs sensors are at the axle hub
I am in the process of replacing my driver side hub and I have to find on that is ABS equipped as it has a connector on it for the ABS line. So in short yes there is a difference.
The ABS sensors are located in the hub assembly. In this case, it is necessary to replace the hub assembly with the ABS sensor inside. You might just check your wires in case the wires behind the hub have frayed or broken. This applies especially if the problem is the passenger side ABS sensor.
ABS sensors are often a ring of metal teeth pressed onto the axle or hub. If any of those metal teeth were damaged when replacing the bearing it may trigger the ABS light.
