ABS rings for Nissan Almera
An ABS ring, also known as an ABS reluctor ring, is a vital component in your Nissan Almera's safety system. At CVJoint24, we offer a wide range of high-quality ABS rings designed to meet or exceed original specifications for your specific vehicle model. Because the Nissan Almera was manufactured across several generations with different drivetrain configurations and engine options, selecting a ring with the exact dimensions and tooth count is essential to avoid fault codes in the vehicle's engine control unit. We stock parts covering most variants of this popular model, ensuring you can quickly restore your car to a safe condition with components built to last.
What does the ABS ring do on a Nissan Almera?
The ABS ring on a Nissan Almera is mounted on the CV joint or wheel hub and serves as a mechanical reference point for the ABS sensor. As the wheel rotates, the sensor reads the teeth on the ring and sends a continuous electrical signal to the car's electronic control unit (ECU). This allows the system to monitor the rotational speed of each individual wheel with extreme precision. If one wheel's speed deviates dramatically from the others, such as during heavy braking on slippery roads, the system immediately modulates brake pressure. This prevents the wheel from locking, maintaining steering control and reducing the risk of skidding, which is fundamental to your road safety.
Common signs of wear
The most common sign of a failing ABS ring on a Nissan Almera is the ABS warning light illuminating on the dashboard, often accompanied by the traction control system being deactivated. This is frequently caused by the ring cracking due to corrosion expanding beneath it, or an individual tooth being damaged by road debris or grit. Another very distinctive symptom is the ABS kicking in and causing pedal pulsation during normal, low-speed braking on dry tarmac. This happens because the cracked ring creates an uneven gap, sending a distorted signal to the sensor, which then mistakenly interprets this as a wheel locking up even when there is no danger.
How to choose the correct ABS ring
To choose the correct ABS ring for your Nissan Almera, you must carefully check three main technical parameters: the tooth count, the internal diameter, and the overall width of the ring. Although selecting your car's make, model and engine variant in our store is highly accurate, rare variations can still occur if the vehicle has been modified or fitted with aftermarket parts earlier in its life. We therefore always recommend physically comparing the specifications of the new ring with the original component before fitting. A correctly selected ring ensures the critical gap to the sensor is spot on, which is absolutely vital for consistent signal strength and reliable system operation.
Related parts to inspect
Feel free to check these related pages for the same vehicle when working on the ABS ring:
When one drivetrain component shows signs of wear, nearby parts on the same car often require inspection too. By comparing these dedicated pages for Nissan Almera, it becomes much easier to determine whether the issue lies solely with the ABS ring or another related part of the drivetrain.
This is particularly relevant on models where vibrations, play and noises can transfer between multiple components along the same driveline. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing the correct component type while overlooking an adjacent part that affects the very same symptoms.

Frequently asked questions about ABS rings for Nissan Almera
Why does the ABS ring crack on my Nissan Almera?
This is usually caused by corrosion (rust) building up on the CV joint beneath the ring. As the rust expands, it exerts outwards pressure from underneath until the metal ring eventually cracks.
Can I drive my Nissan Almera with a broken ABS ring?
It is not recommended. A cracked or broken ring causes the ABS to behave unpredictably or fail entirely, which compromises braking safety and leads to an MOT or roadworthiness inspection failure.
How do I know what tooth count I need for my ABS ring?
The most reliable method is to select your vehicle by make, model and engine in our shop. If multiple versions are listed for your model, count the teeth on your old ring before ordering.
Do I have to replace the whole CV joint if only the ABS ring is broken?
No, you can often replace just the ring. However, if the CV joint is heavily corroded or worn, replacing the entire joint can be a more durable solution to prevent the new ring from cracking again.
Does the ABS light go off immediately after replacing the ring?
In most cases, the warning light goes out automatically after a short test drive once the system detects valid wheel-speed signals. In some instances, the fault code may need to be cleared with an OBD diagnostic scanner.
