Front brake rotors

I have a '96 4X4, 4.0L with a 5sp trans. I need to replace the front rotors. I went to Autozone and was asked if the truck was 4 wheel disk, No its only 2 wheel disk, then was aksed if it is 4 wheel ABS or 2 wheel ABS, I am assuming its 2 wheel ABS as I do not see any sensors on the rear drums, can you even have ABS on drum brakes??

So do I have 2 wheel ABS??? and does anyone know if replacement rotors come with the "tone ring" on the rotor??

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Royce

Most of the older Fords had RABS only (Rear ABS) The sensor (only one) is on the rear differential and handles both wheels.

your RWABS is top, center mounting in the rear differential box.

I'll look for that

Thanks, I will look for the sensor on the rear end, but I do have ABS sensors on the front, I just replace the axle shaft u-joints and had to purposely get a 1/4 drive 6mm 12point socket to take the senor protector blocks off.
