Speed Sensor Question Need Help Please
hi I figured maybe if I just dedicat one thread to speed snesors I may can better advice so hear it goes
I have a
1997 explorer 4wd 2dr
with the used SUV I have a few question I replaced all the brakes,rotors, and bleed the brakes but yet I am still having a problem with the brakes the problem is the brakes are not clamping and I can't perform a complete stop without the anit-lock going off, the brakes feel very spongy. I had the Anti-lock checked and it needs a new speed sensor I was wondering if anybody has any expirence in replacing them? I'm not to familar on how they work because I this my first ford that I have owned so it would much appreciated if anybody could help me out on this

And which one is it? There are two in the front hubs. Depending on your miles you are close to needing new hub bearings, the sensors come with them. There is a sensor on the top of the rear differential. If the fluid is nasty, this may be covered with metal filings that cause problems. Suggest you invest $12 in a Haynes manual before you buy a lot of random parts.

You can buy a new Timken hub for as little as $140 and it comes with a new sensor. The sensor alone should cost about $40. These can be the devil to pull out because they get rusted in. Suggest you try pulling it out first, in case it snaps off and you have to buy the complete hub.
