Find the right ABS ring for your Lancia, whether you drive a nimble hatchback or a spacious Zeta MPV. Our range covers reluctor rings suited to various drivetrains and model years, from...
A functioning ABS ring is a critical component in your Lancia's safety system, playing a vital role in vehicle stability. This small yet essential part, also known as an ABS reluctor ring, is mounted on the CV joint and sends precise magnetic signals to the car's ABS sensor. For a Lancia, often renowned for its engineering flair and engaging driving dynamics, it is crucial that these signals remain consistent and accurate. Without an intact ring, anti-lock brakes and stability control cannot operate properly, directly impacting your road safety. We supply rings manufactured to exacting tolerances to withstand the harsh conditions of European roads, focusing on corrosion resistance and an exact fit for your Italian vehicle.
Over the decades, Lancia has built an impressive array of vehicles, from compact and stylish city cars to sophisticated saloons such as the Kappa and spacious MPVs like the Zeta. This variety means that an ABS ring can vary considerably in design depending on the specific model and model year. The main variations lie in the ring's internal diameter, its overall width, and above all, the number of teeth detected by the sensor. An ABS ring for a sporting Lancia Delta may have an entirely different configuration from one fitted to a refined Lancia Dedra. It is therefore not enough simply to check the car make; you must ensure the reluctor ring matches the specific CV joint dimensions and has the correct tooth count expected by the ECU to prevent fault codes.
The most frequent issue with an ABS ring on a Lancia is severe corrosion caused by road salt and moisture. Because the ring is mounted in an exposed area near the wheel hub, rust develops in the tiny gap between the CV joint and the ring. This buildup creates pressure from within, causing the ring to expand and eventually crack. Once cracked, the spacing between the teeth is altered at the break point, instantly confusing the ABS sensor. The most common sign of failure is the ABS warning light illuminating on the dashboard, frequently accompanied by an unnatural pulsing through the brake pedal during gentle braking on dry roads. In some cases, traction control may also intervene unnecessarily. If you notice these symptoms, inspect your ABS reluctor rings promptly to prevent complete system failure and an MOT failure.
Selecting the right spare part for an Italian car demands precision and the right tools. To find the correct product for your Lancia, start by selecting your car's make, model and engine variant in our shop. This effectively narrows the catalogue down to parts technically compatible with your vehicle's specification. However, some models featured different configurations within the same production year. We therefore recommend physically checking the old ring where possible before ordering. Measure the internal diameter and count the number of teeth carefully. Combining our database with a quick check of your existing components ensures a hassle-free installation and restores your braking system without the need for returns or modifications.

The most common signs are an illuminated ABS warning light or the brake pedal pulsating during light braking on dry tarmac. A visual inspection will often reveal cracks or severe corrosion on the ring.
On most Lancia models, you can easily replace just the ABS ring if the CV joint is otherwise in good condition. It is a cost-effective solution that restores full braking safety.
The primary cause is corrosion. Rust builds up between the CV joint and the ring, creating outward pressure that eventually forces the hardened steel ring to crack.
Yes, if the ABS warning light is lit or if the system fails to operate correctly during a test braking, your Lancia will fail its roadworthiness inspection (MOT).
Yes, they vary in diameter, width and tooth count. It is therefore crucial to select your vehicle's make, model and engine, or check the specifications for your exact model.
The most reliable method is to filter by your model and engine variant in our shop. If you are unsure, you can also count the teeth on the old ring before ordering.
