Discover our comprehensive selection of ABS rings for various Chrysler models, from stylish convertibles to spacious MPVs. Choosing the correct reluctor ring is essential for the ABS...
A functioning ABS ring is a critical component on your Chrysler to ensure that the anti-lock brakes and stability control systems operate as designed. This small yet vital part, often called a reluctor ring, is mounted on the CV joint and is tasked with providing an accurate wheel speed signal to the car’s ECU via the ABS sensor. For Chrysler owners, it is important to understand that these components are exposed to harsh conditions such as road salt, moisture, and extreme temperature fluctuations, which over time can cause corrosion and cracking. When an ABS ring fails, the system loses its ability to read wheel rotation properly, which directly compromises the car's safety features.
At CVJoint24, we specialise in these exact driveline parts to provide Chrysler owners with components of the highest quality. Our range covers everything from classic models to more modern generations. By selecting the correct spare part, you not only ensure that the ABS warning light goes out, but also that brake force distribution and traction control perform optimally under all driving conditions. Investing in a quality product from a specialist means obtaining a part with proper surface treatment and precise dimensions, significantly extending its service life compared to cheaper alternatives.
Over the years, Chrysler has used several different types of ABS rings depending on the vehicle model and drivetrain setup. The main differences are the tooth count, internal diameter, and the overall width of the ring itself. For example, a Chrysler Voyager may require a completely different specification than a Chrysler Stratus, even if they share the same model year. These differences often come down to vehicle weight, brake system dimensions, and the specific sensor technology used to read the signal. It is therefore essential to check these specifications carefully before ordering.
Certain models use reluctor rings that are press-fitted directly onto the outer CV joint, while others feature them integrated into the wheel bearing assembly, although the latter is less common on older Chrysler models. Material choice is also a factor; some rings are produced from high-carbon steel to resist corrosion more effectively, whilst others require a specific protective coating to withstand demanding European winters. Understanding these subtleties is part of our expertise, and we make sure our stock reflects the full breadth required across the Chrysler model line-up.
The most common sign of a failing ABS ring on your Chrysler is the illumination of the ABS warning light on your dashboard. This often starts intermittently before staying on permanently as the crack in the ring widens or corrosion erodes the tooth profile. Another distinct symptom is a pulsating brake pedal or unwanted ABS intervention during gentle braking at low speeds on dry tarmac. This occurs because the control unit receives an erratic signal that it falsely interprets as wheel lockup.
If you notice the vehicle's electronic stability programme (ESP/TCS) activating unnecessarily, this can also stem from a damaged ABS ring. Because the system can no longer rely on accurate speed data from the affected wheel, it may disengage critical safety features entirely. These warnings should never be ignored, as a broken ring can increase braking distances or make the car behave unpredictably in emergency situations. A quick visual inspection will often reveal whether the ring has split or if excessive rust has built up between the teeth.
Selecting the correct part for a Chrysler can sometimes seem challenging given the wide variety of designs. The most reliable method is to select your car's make, model, and engine variant in our search selector. This filters down the catalogue to the ABS rings engineered specifically for your vehicle. However, it is always wise to double-check the tooth count on the existing ring where possible, particularly if the vehicle has had previous repairs where entire drive shafts might have been swapped for units with different specifications.
When replacing this part, it is also sensible to inspect the surrounding drivetrain components. If the ABS ring has corroded through, chances are the outer CV joint or its CV boot is also nearing the end of its operational life. Replacing the ring requires dismantling suspension components, so carrying out preventative maintenance at the same time can save significant labour. Always verify that the new ring matches the original dimensions precisely to maintain the correct gap to the ABS sensor, which is vital for a clean signal.

The most common signs are an illuminated ABS warning light, a pulsing brake pedal during light braking, or the traction control system engaging unnecessarily. A visual inspection will often reveal cracks or severe corrosion on the ring.
On most Chrysler models, you can easily replace just the ABS ring if the CV joint itself is otherwise in good condition. It is a cost-effective solution that restores the safety system's proper function.
This is usually caused by rust developing underneath the ring on the CV joint. As the rust expands, it creates outward pressure that eventually causes the steel ring to snap, altering the tooth spacing and disrupting the sensor signal.
No, there are variations depending on model year, engine variant, and whether it is a Grand Voyager or a standard model. Always select your car's exact make, model and engine to ensure the correct tooth count and diameter.
The car's ABS and stability control systems may stop working entirely, increasing the risk of skidding and lengthening braking distances in emergencies. It is a significant safety risk that should be addressed immediately.
