Find the correct ABS ring for your Hyundai XG by filtering by your specific model variant. Our range covers components engineered for petrol engines and front-wheel-drive saloons built...
The Hyundai XG is an executive saloon that combines comfort with technical sophistication, and its safety systems depend on every single component functioning properly. The ABS ring, also known as an ABS reluctor ring, is a vital part of the car's braking and stability control systems. Despite its relatively simple design, it plays a crucial role in preventing wheel lock-up under heavy braking. For Hyundai XG owners, it is essential to maintain the drivetrain with high-quality parts, as faulty signals from a damaged ring can compromise both the driving experience and road safety.
At CVJoint24, we understand the exact requirements of this model and offer ABS rings precision-engineered to the vehicle's technical specifications. By choosing the right replacement part, you ensure that the electronic control unit receives accurate data, which is fundamental for the active safety systems to engage whenever needed. Our focus is on supplying components that not only fit perfectly, but also withstand harsh European conditions with road salt and moisture.
The ABS ring on a Hyundai XG acts as a pulse generator for the car's wheel speed sensors. Mounted on the CV joint, the ring features a specific number of teeth or windows. As the wheel turns, these teeth pass an inductive sensor, generating an electrical signal. This signal informs the ECU exactly how fast each individual wheel is spinning. If the computer detects that one wheel is rotating significantly slower than the others during braking, it recognises that the wheel is about to lock up and instantly reduces brake pressure at that corner.
For a refined saloon like the Hyundai XG, signal precision is paramount. The system reacts in milliseconds, and the slightest discrepancy can cause the ABS to intervene unnecessarily or, in the worst case, fail to engage when you need it most. The ring must therefore remain completely intact and free from road grime or heavy rust that could disturb the magnetic pickup. A correctly functioning ABS ring is essential for the electronic brakeforce distribution and traction control systems to operate as the manufacturer intended.
The most common issue with ABS rings on the Hyundai XG is cracking or corrosion. Because the ring sits on the outer CV joint, it is continuously exposed to road salt, spray and grit. Over time, rust builds up beneath the ring, exerting outward pressure until the ring eventually cracks. A cracked ring widens the gap between two teeth, causing the sensor to transmit corrupted pulses to the computer. A clear symptom is the ABS warning light illuminating on the dashboard, either permanently or intermittently.
Another common sign is unwanted feedback or a pulsing sensation through the brake pedal during gentle braking at low speeds, where the ABS should not normally activate. This occurs because the ECU misinterprets the erratic signal as impending wheel lock-up. If your traction control system (TCS) intervenes unexpectedly, a defective ABS ring may also be to blame. Ignoring these warnings can lead to longer stopping distances and reduced stability during emergency manoeuvres.
When purchasing a replacement ABS ring for your Hyundai XG, checking the technical data is essential. Variations exist depending on model year and engine variant. The most critical dimensions to verify are the tooth count and the inner diameter. If you install an ABS ring with the wrong number of teeth, the system will miscalculate wheel speed, store a fault code and shut down. It is often wise to count the teeth on your original ring to be completely sure.
To ensure a straightforward selection, we recommend choosing your car by its exact make, model and engine variant in our catalogue. This filters out incompatible options and presents only the parts suited to your specific car. Because the Hyundai XG uses specific chassis components, you should never guess the fitment. Also verify whether the ring is supplied individually or pressed onto the CV joint. At CVJoint24, we offer high-grade individual rings, allowing you to save money by replacing just the damaged reluctor ring rather than the complete drive shaft or joint, provided the rest of the assembly remains in good condition.
It is good practice to inspect these exact pages for the same vehicle when working on an ABS ring:
When one drivetrain component shows wear, adjacent parts on the same car often require attention as well. By checking these exact pages for the Hyundai XG, it is easier to determine whether the issue lies purely with the ABS ring or another related part of the driveline.
This is particularly relevant on models where vibration, play and noises can transmit symptoms across multiple driveline components. A quick inspection of related categories reduces the risk of replacing one correct part while overlooking an adjacent component that contributes to the same problem.
By taking a proactive approach and inspecting the entire suspension and driveline, you ensure your Hyundai XG stays reliable on the road. A properly maintained drivetrain not only minimises the risk of breakdowns, but also delivers the quiet, refined ride that makes owning an XG so rewarding.
CVJoint24 is the international shop of a Swedish driveline specialist, dispatching directly from our central warehouse in Helsingborg, Sweden. We focus on depth rather than broad ranges, giving us a level of expertise in drive shafts, CV joints and ABS rings that general factors rarely match. When you order from us, you can trust that every component is selected to fit your Hyundai XG accurately. We know that correct fitment is crucial for an easy installation and long service life.
Our specialised category depth means we regularly keep parts in stock that other retailers struggle to supply. By selecting your car's make, model and engine, you minimise the risk of ordering the wrong part, and our specialist team is always on hand to assist with technical queries. We strive to provide the ideal balance of precision engineering, proven quality and outstanding value. Maintaining an executive saloon like the Hyundai XG should never be complicated or excessively expensive – find the right parts at CVJoint24 today.
This is most often caused by a cracked ABS ring or a dirty or faulty sensor. When the ring cracks, the signal is interrupted, which triggers a warning from the vehicle's safety system.
Yes, on most Hyundai XG models you can replace just the ABS ring if the CV joint itself is otherwise in good condition. This is a cost-effective way to repair the ABS system.
The number of teeth can vary depending on the model year and engine. Counts such as 44 or 48 teeth are common. Select your car's make, model and engine on our website to find the exact match for your vehicle.
No, it is not strictly necessary, but because they are exposed to the same wear and corrosion, the opposite side often fails shortly after the first.
The car's ABS and traction control systems will likely stop working, reducing safety during emergency braking. In addition, the vehicle will fail its roadworthiness inspection (MOT) with the ABS light illuminated.
