When the wheel speed sensor stops receiving accurate signals, a worn or cracked ABS ring is often to blame. Here you will find a dedicated selection of ABS rings engineered for the...
The Daewoo Leganza, manufactured between 1997 and 2002, is a classic saloon that requires specific spare parts to maintain its reliability and comfort. The ABS ring, also known as an ABS reluctor ring, is a small yet vital component of the vehicle's braking system. On a Daewoo Leganza, this ring is mounted on the outer CV joint and serves as a reference point for the car's electronic safety systems. As the model has aged, these rings are frequently exposed to severe corrosion and mechanical wear from road salt and moisture. Consequently, they will eventually need replacing to ensure the ABS system can read wheel speeds accurately and prevent hazardous situations during braking.
The ABS ring on your Daewoo Leganza is designed to provide the ABS sensor with exact information about the rotational speed of the wheel. It achieves this as the sensor reads the teeth or windows on the ring while the wheel rotates, generating an electrical pulse. If the system detects that a wheel is about to lock up under braking, the control unit modulates the brake pressure to that specific wheel to prevent skidding and retain steering control. Without an intact ABS ring, the control unit cannot receive the correct signals, disabling these vital safety functions. It is a fundamental part of the drivetrain and vehicle safety setup that must remain in top condition for your car to stay roadworthy and safe.
The most frequent sign that an ABS ring on your Daewoo Leganza has failed is the illumination of the ABS warning light on the dashboard. You may also notice the ABS pulsing or kicking back through the brake pedal during normal braking at low speeds on dry tarmac, even when there is plenty of grip. This is often referred to as false ABS activation. It typically happens because rust builds up underneath the ring on the CV joint, causing the ring to crack and altering the spacing between the teeth at the fracture point. The sensor misinterprets this signal as the wheel locking up. A visual inspection inside the wheel arch can often reveal if the ring has cracked, lost teeth, or become so heavily corroded that the teeth are indistinct.
To choose the correct ABS ring for your Daewoo Leganza, it is essential to verify the tooth count and the inner diameter of the ring. Even though Leganza models frequently share components, variations can occur depending on the engine variant, such as the 2.0 16V, and specific model years. The most reliable way to find the matching part is to select your car's make, model and engine in our vehicle selector. This filters out the components that match your car's exact chassis specifications. Before fitting, thoroughly clean the mounting surface on the CV joint so the new ring seats flush and will not crack immediately during installation due to remaining flakes of rust.

When a drivetrain component shows signs of wear, neighbouring parts on the same car often warrant inspection too. By checking these exact pages for the Daewoo Leganza, it becomes easier to determine whether the issue lies solely with the ABS ring or another related drivetrain part.
This is especially important on models where vibrations, play and noises can transfer symptoms across several parts in the same driveline. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing the right type of part while overlooking an adjacent component that contributes to the same problem.

This is often caused by a cracked or heavily corroded ABS ring, which prevents the sensor from reading the wheel speed accurately and triggers an error code in the vehicle's computer system.
On the Daewoo Leganza, you can easily replace just the ABS ring, provided the CV joint itself is in good mechanical order and not producing any noises.
The easiest method is to select your car's make, model and engine in our search tool. You can also count the teeth on your existing ring before ordering to be completely certain.
Yes, if the ABS warning light is illuminated or the system fails to operate correctly during the brake test, the car will fail its annual roadworthiness inspection.
In addition to the ABS safety system failing to function, you may experience unwanted pulsing or vibrations in the brake pedal and reduced braking efficiency at lower speeds.
