Find the correct ABS ring for your Nissan Sunny III Liftback. The range includes sensor rings tailored for front-wheel-drive petrol models manufactured between 1990 and 1995. Whether...
The ABS ring, also known as an ABS reluctor ring or sensor ring, is a critical component in the safety system of your Nissan Sunny III Liftback. This small yet vital part is mounted on the CV joint and is responsible for providing the car's control unit with information about wheel rotation speed. For a classic model like the Nissan Sunny III Liftback, using parts with an exact fit is crucial, as the tolerances in early ABS systems demand precision to avoid fault codes. We supply components specifically developed to meet the technical specifications of this exact vehicle model, guaranteeing long service life and reliable operation in all driving conditions.
The function of an ABS ring on a Nissan Sunny III Liftback relies on magnetic induction. As the wheel turns, the ring's teeth pass a stationary ABS sensor. This movement generates an electrical signal that is transmitted to the vehicle's ABS control unit. If the control unit detects that one wheel is rotating slower than the others during braking – indicating the start of a lock-up – the system modulates brake pressure to that specific wheel. Without an intact ABS ring, the system cannot perform these calculations, causing the anti-lock brakes to deactivate and returning the car to conventional braking without the added safety of ABS.
The most frequent issue with an ABS ring on the Nissan Sunny III Liftback is corrosion. Because the ring is exposed to weather, road grit and road salt, rust tends to develop between the ring and the CV joint. This layer of rust expands, exerting outward pressure that eventually causes the ring to crack. Signs of a defective ring include the ABS warning light illuminating on the dashboard or a pulsating sensation in the brake pedal when braking at low speeds, even on dry surfaces. If you notice the ABS system intervening unnecessarily, it is often an indication that a tooth is missing or the ring has cracked, sending faulty signals.
When selecting a new ABS ring for your Nissan Sunny III Liftback, it is essential to check the tooth count and the internal diameter of the ring. Even though we carry specific products for your model, variations can occur depending on the engine variant and year of manufacture. The most reliable way to find the correct part is to select your vehicle's make, model and engine in our store. By choosing your car's details, you filter out components verified for your exact vehicle. Always verify that the new ring has the same number of teeth as the old one before installation to ensure the signal frequency to the control unit remains correct and no new fault codes appear after fitting.

When one drivetrain component shows signs of wear, nearby parts on the same car often require inspection as well. By comparing these specific pages for the Nissan Sunny III Liftback, it becomes easier to determine whether the fault lies in the ABS ring itself or in another adjacent section of the drivetrain.
This is particularly relevant on models where vibrations, play and noises can transfer symptoms across several parts in 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 same issue.
CVJoint24 is the international shop of a Swedish driveline and power transmission specialist. We combine in-depth technical expertise with a carefully selected range to offer the best solutions for your Nissan Sunny III Liftback. Unlike generic car parts retailers, we focus exclusively on drivetrain components, giving us a unique ability to provide high-quality parts with a precise fit. By selecting your exact make, model and engine, you minimise the risk of ordering the wrong part, and our rapid dispatch ensures you receive your order promptly. When you choose us, you receive more than just a spare part – you gain the confidence of dealing with experts who understand your car's technical needs.
This is usually caused by corrosion. Rust forms underneath the ring on the CV joint, creating outward pressure that eventually causes the ring to snap.
On the Nissan Sunny III Liftback, you can easily replace just the ABS ring, provided the constant velocity joint itself is otherwise in good condition.
The number of teeth can vary. It is therefore important to count the teeth on your old ring or select your exact model and engine in our vehicle search.
The car's ABS system will likely deactivate and illuminate the warning light. This means the wheels can lock under hard braking, reducing steering control.
No, but the ring often needs to be gently heated to expand so it can be pressed properly into position onto the CV joint.
