Front wheel ABS sensor - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

kostnkost · 02-06-2020, 04:17 PM

Just found out the front right wheel sensor crapped out on me after 135k miles. The nerve right..... I've looked far and wide on how to replace this myself, but have come up empty. The best I can find is the rear wheel sensor replacement for my 2013 Camaro, but I can only assume the front is different.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to replace this? I'd hate to bring this to a station and get nailed for a $300 or more bill when I know I can probably do this myself.

Thanks!

I don't think it would be that much different, if any, from the rear. It's basically a electro magnetic sensor that bolts to the spindle facing the toothed reluctor wheel in the hub.

unplug it and It just unbolts from the knuckle and you pull it out. make sure you clean off any dirt and debris before pulling it out, insert new plug in and be on your way

Unfortunately the part did not do the trick unless I need to do a battery pull. Computer stated it was front right wheel sensor, but this might be a bit more complicated than just a sensor.

Did you drive it after you replaced the sensor?

For 2-3 miles only. Tomorrow I will put 80-90 miles on it.

Tsb on this situation.

Thanks for this. My mechanic told me that if the sensor does not work, then there is probably build up in the hub that needs to be cleaned. I guess my next question is whether this is a fairly easy job to do myself?
