ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) gear rings, also known as ABS reluctor rings or ABS tone rings, are specific to certain vehicle makes and models. These gear rings are an integral part of the ABS system and are designed to work with the vehicle's specific wheel hub assembly, sensor, and brake system.
The ABS gear ring is typically mounted on the wheel hub or axle shaft, and its teeth pass by the ABS sensor to generate the signal necessary for the ABS system to monitor wheel speed and prevent wheel lockup during braking.
Since different vehicles have varying wheel hub designs, sensor placements, and ABS system configurations, ABS gear rings are not generally interchangeable between different makes and models. They are engineered to match the specifications of a particular vehicle to ensure proper functioning of the ABS system.
When replacing an ABS gear ring, it's crucial to use the correct part that is specifically designed for your vehicle's year, make, and model. Using an incorrect or incompatible gear ring can lead to ABS system malfunctions, poor braking performance, and potential safety hazards.
