Looking for a replacement ABS ring for your Chrysler Sebring? As Swedish driveline specialists, we supply high-precision components designed to keep your vehicle's safety systems...
The Chrysler Sebring is a model that demands precision when it comes to driveline spare parts. The ABS ring, also known as an ABS reluctor ring, is a critical component of the car's anti-lock braking system. On models like the Sebring, these rings are frequently exposed to harsh environments with road salt and moisture, which over time can cause severe corrosion. Choosing a high-quality replacement part is essential to preserve your vehicle's safety features. At CVJoint24, we specialise in these precise parts so that you, as the owner, can trust that the component is built to last. By focusing on an exact fit for your Chrysler Sebring, we eliminate the risk of fitting difficulties and subsequent fault codes. Our product range is carefully selected to withstand the demanding conditions faced by American vehicles on European roads.
The primary job of the ABS ring on a Chrysler Sebring is to provide the ABS sensor with exact data on wheel rotational speed. The ring is fitted to the CV joint and features a specific number of teeth or magnetic poles. As the wheel rotates, an electrical pulse is generated in the sensor each time a tooth passes by. The car's electronic control unit evaluates these pulses to detect whether a wheel is about to lock under braking or slip during acceleration. If an ABS ring is damaged, the signal becomes erratic or fails entirely, preventing the system from regulating brake pressure effectively. This affects not only the ABS itself but also systems such as electronic stability control (ESP) and traction control, both of which are vital for your Chrysler Sebring's handling and road safety.
The most frequent sign that an ABS ring on your Chrysler Sebring requires replacement is the ABS warning light illuminating on the dashboard. Another classic symptom is false ABS intervention, where the system pulses or "chatters" through the brake pedal during gentle braking at low speeds, even on dry tarmac with ample grip. This typically happens when the ring cracks due to rust expanding beneath it, which widens the gap between two teeth at the fracture point. The sensor interprets this wider gap as a momentarily locked wheel. During a visual inspection, you can often spot cracks, missing teeth or heavy corrosion. If you encounter these symptoms, it is crucial to resolve them promptly to ensure your car's safety systems operate correctly when you need them most.
Selecting the right ABS ring for your Chrysler Sebring can sometimes be tricky, as dimensions can vary depending on model year, engine variant and whether the vehicle is front-wheel drive or features another setup. The most important details to verify are the tooth count and the internal diameter of the ring. A reluctor ring with the wrong tooth count will transmit incorrect speed data to the car's ECU, triggering permanent fault codes. To make the selection simple and dependable, we recommend filtering by your car's make, model and engine on our site. Selecting your vehicle details displays the exact car parts verified for your specific model. This is the safest way to order the correct part first time and avoid unnecessary returns or downtime during repairs.
Take a moment to check these related pages for the same vehicle when working on the ABS ring:
When one drivetrain component shows signs of wear, related parts on the same vehicle should be inspected as well. Reviewing these exact pages for the Chrysler Sebring makes it much easier to identify whether an issue lies with the ABS ring itself or an adjacent drivetrain component.
This is especially true on models where vibrations, play and unusual noises can transfer symptoms across several parts in the driveline. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing one correct part while overlooking an adjacent component that contributes to the same problem.
Replacing worn components at the same time saves both labour and money over time, keeping your car's drivetrain quiet and reliable for many kilometres to come.

Technically the car can still be driven, but your ABS and any electronic stability control (ESP) will not work correctly. This increases the risk of wheel lock-up under heavy braking and can compromise your safety.
The most common cause is corrosion. Rust builds up on the CV joint underneath the ring, and as the rust expands, it creates pressure from within that eventually causes the ring to crack.
No, you can usually replace just the ABS ring. However, if the CV joint is also worn or the CV boot is damaged, it may be more economical to replace the entire joint or drive shaft at the same time.
The most reliable method is to count the teeth on the old ring, or select your Chrysler Sebring by make, model and engine to find the exact specification for your car.
Yes, if the ABS warning light is illuminated or the system faults during testing, your Chrysler Sebring will fail its roadworthiness inspection or MOT.
It requires some mechanical experience and the right tools, as the CV joint usually needs to be released from the wheel hub to gain access and fit the new ring.
