ABS rings for Mitsubishi Space Star

ABS rings for Mitsubishi Space Star

The Mitsubishi Space Star is a practical and reliable car, but just like any vehicle, it requires regular maintenance of its safety systems to perform optimally. The ABS ring, also known as a reluctor ring, is a small yet crucial component in the car's braking system. Here at cvjoint24.com, you will find a carefully selected range of ABS rings specifically suited to the different generations of the Space Star. Whether you drive an early model or a later variant, it is vital that the ring has the exact number of teeth and correct dimensions to communicate properly with the car's sensors.

Our focus is on offering parts that meet or exceed original equipment specifications. A faulty ABS ring can compromise the entire safety system, making your choice of supplier a matter of safety. We combine technical expertise with an extensive range to ensure you receive a product that lasts over time, even under demanding European conditions where road salt and moisture frequently accelerate corrosion on chassis components.

What does an ABS ring do on a Mitsubishi Space Star?

The ABS ring is usually mounted on the CV joint and is tasked with providing the ABS sensor with information regarding the precise rotational speed of the wheel. As the wheel spins, the ring's teeth pass the sensor, generating an electrical signal that is sent to the vehicle's electronic control unit. On a Mitsubishi Space Star, this system is fundamental in preventing the wheels from locking up under heavy braking, which in turn allows the driver to maintain steering control in critical situations.

Beyond the primary braking function, the signals from the ABS ring are often used by other vehicle systems, such as traction control and electronic stability control. If the ring is damaged or dirty, the signal can become irregular, leading the car's computer to interpret this as a loss of traction on one wheel. This causes the system to intervene unnecessarily, which can be both irritating and dangerous. Consequently, an intact and clean ABS ring is essential for the car's overall driving safety.

Common signs of wear

The most common problem with an ABS ring on a Mitsubishi Space Star is corrosion or cracking caused by rust build-up underneath. Because the ring is exposed to weather, dirt, and road salt, rust can develop on the surface of the CV joint beneath the ring. This creates outward pressure that causes the ring to expand and eventually crack. A clear sign of a fault is the ABS warning light illuminating on the instrument cluster, indicating that the system has detected a discrepancy in the signals.

Another common symptom is the ABS kicking in unnecessarily at low speeds on completely dry roads. This often feels like a pulsing through the brake pedal just before the vehicle comes to a complete halt. If the reluctor ring is cracked through or has lost a tooth, it can trigger fault codes that put the system into a failsafe mode, disabling the ABS function entirely. If you experience any of these symptoms, you should inspect your ABS rings promptly to avoid consequential damage to sensors or other braking components.

How to choose the correct ABS ring

To choose the correct ABS ring for your Mitsubishi Space Star, it is important to verify specific technical details such as the tooth count and the inner diameter of the ring. Even though many versions appear visually identical, subtle variations in specification can prevent the sensor from reading the signal correctly. The easiest and most reliable way to find the right part is to select your car's make, model, and engine here on cvjoint24.com. This filters our catalogue so that you only see components guaranteed to fit your vehicle's exact configuration.

It is also worth noting that ABS rings can vary between the front and rear axles, as well as depending on whether the car is fitted with rear brake discs or brake drums. Taking care when ordering saves both time and money during installation. If you are unsure which ring is fitted to your vehicle, you can often count the number of teeth on the old ring prior to ordering, giving you extra confidence that you have chosen the correct replacement component.

Related parts to inspect

Please also check these exact pages for the same vehicle when working with an ABS ring:

When a drivetrain component shows signs of wear, nearby parts on the same car often require inspection as well. By comparing these exact pages for the Mitsubishi Space Star, it becomes easier to determine whether the issue lies with the ABS ring itself or with an adjacent part of the driveline.

This is particularly relevant on models where vibrations, play, and abnormal noises can transfer symptoms across several parts in the same drivetrain. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing the right type of part while overlooking an adjacent component that causes the same underlying issue.

• Outer CV joints for Mitsubishi Space Star

Replacing worn CV boots when changing the ring is an inexpensive safeguard against future driveline failures. If dirt and moisture penetrate the CV joint due to a split boot, the constant velocity joint will wear out rapidly, resulting in far more costly repairs than a straightforward ABS ring replacement. Also check the tip of the ABS sensor; if the old cracked ring has been rubbing against it, the sensor may also need cleaning or replacing to maintain a clean signal.
