Default Just got done replacing right rear wheel bearing. Question about ABS sensor

It was rusted solid into the hub. Had to remove the hub and pound the sensor out from the inside. Twisted the mounting tab off as well. :-( Put it all back together as I have to go on a trip tomorrow and was expecting the ABS light, but no light!! Should I replace it anyway? How much are they?

Default just leave it alone, you'll be fine...did you put a little anti-seize around the sensor?

they're really expensive, that's why i'd say leave it until it breaks. I doubt it'll pop out on you.

Default Yes sir, loaded that sucker with antiseize.

That's what I figured too, just let it go and see what happens. Seems like something is going wrong every week lately. Did the left rear 2 weeks ago. All front control arms last week. Let's hope that's all for awhile. But it's nice and quiet and tight now :-) Still solid for 147k.

Default nice man, at least it was predictable w/the other side...some guys barely get 60k.

you're a record setter.

Default I haven't heard my bearings yet? Did you check them when I was out there back

in March? Do they make noise or no??

Default NOISE...that were howling. I'll put it this way,

when my wife rides in my car and asks, "what's that noise" you know it's loud. :-)

Default Is the procedure for this the same as for the A4 in the tech section?

if not, is there a tech article written up on this. I think I need to do them real soon.
