Find the right ABS ring for your Mitsubishi Space Runner, whether front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. Our range covers petrol models produced between 1991 and 1999, ensuring your...
Maintaining the braking system on your Mitsubishi Space Runner is vital for both safety and driving comfort. The ABS ring is a small but critical component that is frequently exposed to severe stress from road salt, moisture, and grit. As a Swedish driveline specialist, we understand the importance of an exact fit for this specific model. We provide carefully selected ABS reluctor rings engineered to satisfy the technical requirements of your Mitsubishi, ensuring the anti-lock braking system operates precisely as intended in all conditions.
Our range covers the various configurations of the Space Runner, meaning we can supply the correct part whether your vehicle is fitted with a 1.8-litre or 2.0-litre engine. By focusing on quality and durability, we ensure that the components you purchase from us endure for years to come, even in demanding European driving conditions.
The ABS ring, also known as a reluctor ring, plays a key role in the safety system of your Mitsubishi Space Runner. Fitted directly onto the CV joint, it rotates in sync with the wheel. A sensor monitors the teeth on the ring, transmitting wheel speed data to the car's engine control unit. This information is vital for the system to detect whether a wheel is about to lock up under heavy braking.
If the control unit detects a discrepancy in rotational speed, it immediately regulates brake pressure to maintain steering control and prevent skidding. Without a functional ABS ring, the system cannot receive accurate readings, causing safety functions to be disabled. It is therefore a small but indispensable component for your car's overall road safety and stability.
The most common sign of a failing ABS ring on a Mitsubishi Space Runner is an illuminated ABS warning light on the dashboard. This is often caused by a cracked ring due to corrosion, or road dirt lodging between the teeth and interrupting the sensor signal. A cracked ring may expand slightly, altering the air gap to the sensor and creating an irregular signal.
You may also find the ABS activating unnecessarily at low speeds, which feels like a pulsating sensation through the brake pedal even on dry, smooth tarmac. If you notice these symptoms, it is crucial to inspect the rings promptly to avoid compromised braking efficiency. A visual inspection will often reveal fractures or missing teeth on the ring.
To choose the correct ABS ring for your Mitsubishi Space Runner, it is essential to check the tooth count and the internal diameter of the ring. Mitsubishi used differing specifications depending on engine option, drivetrain, and model year. Counting the teeth on your original ring is a reliable way to ensure the replacement part will communicate properly with the wheel speed sensors.
The simplest and most reliable way to find the correct component is to select your vehicle's make, model, and engine variant on our website. This filters down to the exact parts designed for your vehicle's configuration. We always recommend cross-referencing the dimensions in the product description against your existing component to guarantee a hassle-free installation and optimal performance.

When a driveline component shows signs of wear, adjacent parts on the same car often require inspection as well. Comparing these exact pages for the Mitsubishi Space Runner makes it easier to establish whether the fault lies with the ABS ring itself or an adjacent drivetrain component.
This is particularly relevant on models where vibration, play, and noises can transfer between multiple components along the same drivetrain. A quick check across related categories lowers the risk of replacing the right type of part while overlooking an adjacent component that contributes to the same problem.
When replacing an ABS ring on your Mitsubishi Space Runner, it is sensible to inspect other driveline parts at the same time. Because the ring is commonly mounted on an outer CV joint, check that the CV boot is intact and that no grease is escaping. If the boot is split, dirt and moisture will quickly ruin both the joint and the new ABS ring.
Here are the key components to inspect alongside the repair:
CVJoint24 is your dedicated European driveline specialist, backed by Swedish expertise. We combine in-depth technical knowledge with a wide inventory of niche components that are often difficult to source through general motor factors.

Choosing us gives you access to specialist knowledge and a customer service team that understands driveline engineering. With our easy vehicle selector by make, model, and engine, combined with our passion for drivetrain components, you can be confident you will receive the correct part delivered swiftly and reliably so you can get back on the road with complete confidence.
This is usually caused by a cracked or corroded ABS ring, which prevents the sensor from reading the wheel speed accurately. Rust build-up underneath is a very common reason for the ring cracking.
On the Mitsubishi Space Runner, it is often possible to replace just the ABS ring if the CV joint is otherwise in good condition. This provides a cost-effective way to restore your braking system.
The most reliable method is to count the teeth on the old ring, or select your exact model and engine variant on our website to find the correct specification.
Yes, if the ABS warning light is illuminated or the system is not working correctly, the car will fail its roadworthiness inspection, as it is an essential safety feature.
Yes, dimensions and tooth counts often differ between the front and rear axles. Always check the axle position carefully before ordering your replacement part.
