ABS rings for Peugeot 405
Finding the right ABS ring for a classic such as the Peugeot 405 requires precision and technical expertise. Renowned for its comfort and rewarding road manners, this model relies on a fully functioning ABS system to maintain safety during heavy braking. Here at CVJoint24, you will find high-quality ABS rings specifically developed to meet the technical requirements of this very car. Whether you drive an early model year or one of the later editions, selecting the correct tooth count and diameter is crucial for ensuring the car's control unit receives accurate signals.
We stock components that cater to the most common variants of the Peugeot 405. Because the original rings are prone to corrosion over time, our replacement parts are manufactured to withstand harsh European roads and winters. By replacing a cracked or rusted ring promptly, you avoid more costly repairs to the entire CV joint or the ABS sensor. Our priority is to supply parts that keep your car driving safely for many thousands of kilometres to come.
What does the ABS ring do on a Peugeot 405?
The ABS ring, also referred to as an ABS reluctor ring or sensor ring, plays a critical role in your car's anti-lock braking system. Mounted on the CV joint, it rotates at the exact speed of the wheel. A magnetic sensor positioned directly above the teeth registers magnetic pulses as each tooth passes by. This data is transmitted straight to the ABS control module, which compares the speeds across all wheels to determine if any individual wheel is beginning to lock up.
On a Peugeot 405, this system is vital for preventing skids in emergency braking situations. If the ring is damaged, cracked, or caked in road grime, the signal degrades, causing the system to disengage entirely or pulse the brake pressure incorrectly. An intact ABS ring ensures that braking force is distributed smoothly and safely, which is particularly important on classic models where mechanical precision underpins overall safety.
Common signs of wear and failure
The most frequent sign of a failing ABS ring on your Peugeot 405 is the illumination of the ABS warning light on the dashboard. This occurs when the control unit detects an implausible reading from one of the wheel sensors. Another classic symptom is a vibrating or pulsing brake pedal under normal, low-speed braking just as the vehicle comes to a complete halt. This false ABS activation is often triggered by a split in the ring, which widens the gap between two teeth and misleads the system into thinking a wheel has locked.
A visual inspection will often reveal that the ring has split due to rust developing underneath it on the outer CV joint. As corrosion expands, it forces the ring outwards until it snaps. If you hear a faint scraping noise from the wheel arch, it may also indicate that a loose or distorted ring is rubbing against the sensor tip. Ignoring these signs can quickly ruin the ABS sensor itself, resulting in extra repair costs.
How to select the correct ABS ring
When choosing a replacement ABS ring for your Peugeot 405, three measurements are essential: the tooth count, the internal diameter, and the overall width. Peugeot used different variants depending on the specific engine and brake setup fitted from the factory. The most reliable method to source the matching part is to select your Peugeot 405's exact make, model and engine variant in our store selector to display fully compatible items.
If you are ever unsure, we recommend counting the teeth on your old ring before completing your order. Fitting a ring with an incorrect tooth count sends false road speed data to the computer, keeping your ABS warning light on even after installation. At CVJoint24, we make it simple to get it right the first time, and our expert support team is always on hand if you need advice regarding technical measurements for your Peugeot 405.
Related parts to inspect
Please feel free to check these specific pages for the same vehicle when working on an ABS ring:
Whenever a drivetrain component shows signs of wear, it is sensible practice to examine adjacent parts on the same axle. Reviewing these dedicated pages for the Peugeot 405 makes it much simpler to determine whether an issue lies purely with the ABS ring or another related driveline element.
This is especially important on classic cars where vibrations, play and unwanted noises can easily transfer across components. A brief inspection of associated categories minimises the risk of replacing a single component while overlooking another that contributes to the very same problem.
By reviewing these components at the same time, you save both time and workshop labour down the line, as the wheel hub assembly is already stripped down.

Frequently asked questions about ABS rings for Peugeot 405
How do I know if my Peugeot 405 needs a new ABS ring?
The most common signs are an illuminated ABS warning light or the brake pedal pulsing during low-speed braking. A visual inspection will often reveal cracks or heavy corrosion on the ring.
Can I replace just the ABS ring, or do I need to replace the entire CV joint?
On the Peugeot 405, you can easily replace just the ABS ring if the CV joint itself is otherwise in good condition. It is a cost-effective solution for repairing the ABS system.
How many teeth should an ABS ring for the Peugeot 405 have?
The number of teeth varies depending on the model year and engine. Common tooth counts are 29 or 48 teeth. Select your car's make, model and engine in our vehicle selector to find the correct version for your car.
Why do ABS rings crack on older cars like the Peugeot 405?
Rust often forms underneath between the CV joint and the ring. As the rust expands, it creates outward pressure that eventually causes the metal ring to crack.
Will a cracked ABS ring cause an MOT failure?
Yes, if the ABS warning light is illuminated or the system does not operate correctly, the car will fail its annual roadworthiness inspection (MOT) as it is a safety hazard.
Is it difficult to fit a new ABS ring yourself?
It requires removing the CV joint from the hub. The new ring is usually heated gently to expand it, allowing it to shrink-fit securely into place on the CV joint as it cools.
