Tone Ring Replacement

Hey all,

After some investigating, i have found that the tone ring on the passenger side is split which is causing the ABS to kick on at low speed every now and then.

I have replaced a tone ring on an escape, i am just wondering if its a similar job to do on the econoline. after looking on rock auto, im not seeing just the tone ring. maybe i have to replace the whole hub?

any help or suggestions would be great!

Thanks
Mike

I promise you some people would have chimed in by now if they have similar experience.

I think you're all alone on this one

What kind of van do you have? I'm about to change my rotors and I can try to carefully remove on of my tone rings and send it to you.

wow im surprised! maybe i call ford and see if just the ring is available or if i have to buy the whole hub.

If you wouldnt mind taking a photo of how the ring is mounted, that would be great!. theres not much online and i dont want to pull my van apart just to see.

its a 2010 e250 with a 4.6

Mine is a 07 E350 with V10. I think there was a factory brake redesign/upgrade in 2008, therefore I suspect our brakes are not interchangeable.

So i did some digging. yes, the tone ring comes on the rotor/hub when you buy the assembly. The ring alone is $79 CDN i think ill just wait and but the whole assembly when my rotors are dead..
