Find the right ABS ring for your Mitsubishi Space Estate, whether your car is front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. Our range covers generations from the early 1990s up to 2004,...
Maintaining the braking system on a Mitsubishi Space Estate is crucial for both safety and driving comfort. The ABS ring, also known as an ABS reluctor ring, is a small yet critical component in the vehicle's anti-lock braking system. On models like the Space Estate, these rings are frequently exposed to tough European road conditions with salt, moisture and temperature swings, which can cause them to crack or rust through. We supply specific rings dimensioned to meet the demands of this vehicle model, whether for the earlier generations or the later versions of this popular MPV.
The main task of the ABS ring is to supply the vehicle's control unit with information about the rotational speed of the wheels. It is mounted on the CV joint and rotates together with the wheel. A sensor reads the teeth on the ring and sends electrical pulses to the ABS system. If a ring breaks, the system can no longer read the speed accurately, which often results in the ABS function disengaging completely or pulsing erroneously under braking. For a Mitsubishi Space Estate, this means that the essential safety function preventing wheel lock-up during emergency braking stops working, increasing the risk of an accident.
The most common sign of a defective ABS ring on a Mitsubishi Space Estate is the ABS warning light illuminating on the dashboard. The fault is often felt as the ABS pulsing or kicking in during regular, low-speed braking, even when the road surface is dry and grip is fine. This happens because a crack in the ring creates an irregular gap between the teeth, tricking the sensor into registering a locked wheel. During a visual inspection, you can often spot obvious cracks or see that the ring has loosened from its seat due to corrosion expanding beneath it, disrupting the correct distance to the sensor.
To choose the correct ABS ring for your Mitsubishi Space Estate, it is important to check the tooth count and the inner diameter of the ring. Because Mitsubishi used different types of CV joints depending on engine displacement and gearbox type, the ABS rings can also vary. The most reliable way to find the right part is to select your vehicle's make, model and engine in our vehicle selector. This filters for parts that are technically verified for your specific car. Also check whether your vehicle is front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, as this affects the type of drive shaft fitted and thereby which reluctor ring is required for proper function.
Feel free to inspect these matching categories for the same vehicle when working on the ABS ring:
When a driveline component shows signs of wear, neighbouring parts on the same car often warrant an inspection as well. Comparing these exact pages for the Mitsubishi Space Estate makes it easier to determine whether the issue stems purely from the ABS ring or another related part of the drivetrain.
This is especially pertinent on models where vibrations, play and noises can shift symptoms across several parts in the same drivetrain. A quick check of related categories minimises the risk of replacing the correct type of part while overlooking an adjacent component that contributes to the very same fault.
By reviewing these components at the same time, you save time and ensure your entire drivetrain continues to perform reliably for many kilometres to come.
CVJoint24 is the international shop of a Swedish driveline specialist, dispatching orders from our central warehouse in Helsingborg, Sweden. We combine thorough technical expertise with a carefully chosen product range so you always receive the right part for your Mitsubishi Space Estate. Our focus on quality and exact fitment ensures peace of mind with every order. Using our straightforward vehicle selection by make, model and engine, you can order with confidence, whilst our swift dispatch gets your car back on the road in no time. We understand how vital a smooth-running drivetrain is, offering only durable components built to cope with demanding European roads and climates.
On most Mitsubishi Space Estate models, you can easily replace just the ABS ring if the CV joint is otherwise in good condition and showing no signs of noise.
This is often caused by a cracked ABS ring or a faulty sensor. A cracked ring sends incorrect signals to the vehicle's control unit, which triggers the warning light.
The simplest method is to count the teeth on the old ring or select your car's make, model and engine in our search tool to find the exact specification for your car.
Yes, if the ABS light is illuminated or if the system fails to operate correctly during the brake test, your Mitsubishi Space Estate will fail its annual MOT test.
It requires removing the CV joint from the hub. The new ring is then pressed or gently heated into place. We recommend thoroughly cleaning the mounting surface before installation.
