ABS rings for Renault 19 II Chamade
For many, the Renault 19 II Chamade represents an era of comfortable French engineering. As the saloon version of the popular 19 series, it requires specific maintenance to retain its driving dynamics. When it comes to the braking system and safety, the ABS ring is one of the most critical yet frequently overlooked components. On these cars, it is not uncommon for the original rings to suffer from heavy corrosion after decades on the road. At CVJoint24, we specialise in these exact types of spare parts so you can keep your classic running smoothly. By offering precision-fit ABS rings, we ensure your car's safety systems function exactly as intended from the factory, whether you drive a standard model or one of the higher-output engine variants.
What does an ABS ring do on a Renault 19 II Chamade?
To understand the importance of a working ABS ring on your Renault 19 II Chamade, you need to look at how the anti-lock braking system communicates. The ring features a precise number of teeth that rotate in time with the wheel. An inductive sensor is mounted directly above the ring, reading the magnetic pulses generated as the teeth pass by. This data is transmitted in real time to the ABS control unit. If the control unit detects that pulses from one wheel suddenly drop or cease under braking, it interprets this as the wheel locking up and immediately modulates the braking pressure. This happens several times per second. A damaged or contaminated ring disrupts this sensitive communication, which can cause the system to either shut off completely or behave erratically, leading to an unsafe driving experience.
Common signs of wear
There are several warning signs indicating it is time to inspect your car's ABS rings. The most obvious is naturally the ABS warning light illuminating on the instrument cluster. However, subtle faults often appear before the lamp lights up. A very common symptom of a cracked ABS reluctor ring is a pulsing or juddering brake pedal just before the car comes to a complete halt during normal braking on dry tarmac. This occurs because the split in the ring creates a wider gap between two teeth, which the control unit misinterprets as a stationary wheel. A visual inspection will often reveal that the ring has cracked across a tooth, typically caused by rust swelling between the CV joint and the ring until the metal gives way.
Choosing the right ABS ring
When selecting a new ABS ring for your Renault 19 II Chamade, you must look beyond visual appearance alone. The tooth count must match your vehicle's original specification precisely; if you fit a ring with the incorrect number of teeth, the system will read the wheel speed incorrectly, causing a system fault. You also need to verify the inner diameter to ensure the ring achieves the proper press fit on the CV joint. We strongly recommend selecting your car's make, model and engine to find the exact replacement part quickly. During installation, it is crucial to thoroughly clean rust and dirt from the seating surface on the constant velocity joint, otherwise the new ring risks seating crookedly or cracking prematurely from underlying tension.
Related parts to inspect
Take the opportunity to check these exact pages for the same vehicle when working on the ABS ring:
When one drivetrain component shows signs of wear, nearby parts on the vehicle often require an inspection too. Comparing these exact pages for the Renault 19 II Chamade makes it easier to determine whether the fault lies strictly with the ABS ring or another related part of the drivetrain.
This is especially relevant on models where vibrations, play and unusual noises can transfer symptoms across several parts in the same driveline. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing the right part type while overlooking an adjacent component that causes the same symptom.

Frequently asked questions about ABS rings for Renault 19 II Chamade
How do I know if the ABS ring fits my Renault 19 II Chamade?
The most reliable way is to select your car's exact model, year and engine in our shop menu. This filters the ABS rings to ensure the correct tooth count and diameter for your specific vehicle.
Can I replace just the ABS ring, or do I need to replace the entire CV joint?
On the Renault 19 II Chamade, it is often possible to replace just the ABS ring if the CV joint itself is otherwise in good condition. This makes it a very cost-effective repair.
Why do ABS rings crack on Renault cars?
The most common cause is corrosion. Rust builds up between the CV joint and the ring, creating outward pressure that eventually causes the ring to split.
What happens if I drive with a cracked ABS ring?
The ABS safety system will most likely disengage, meaning the wheels can lock up under heavy braking. It can also cause unexpected ABS intervention at low speeds.
Do I need special tools to fit the ABS ring?
No complex specialist tools are required, but you need to clean the seat on the CV joint thoroughly. It often helps to warm the new ring gently before pressing it into place.
How many teeth should the ABS ring have on my 19 II Chamade?
This varies depending on the model year and engine. Common tooth counts are 26 or 44 teeth, so always verify your vehicle's engine and year details before ordering.
