ABS rings for Saab 900
The Saab 900 is an iconic model that demands dedicated spare parts to maintain its reliability and unique character. The ABS ring, also known as an ABS reluctor ring, is a vital component in the car's anti-lock braking system that is often subjected to severe stress. At CVJoint24, you will find an extensive range of ABS rings designed for both the classic generation and the later 900 II. Because the Saab 900 underwent various technical revisions throughout its production run, selecting a ring with the correct tooth count and inside diameter is essential. We help you find the right part so you can get back on the road safely with full braking performance.
What does an ABS ring do on a Saab 900?
The ABS ring is mounted onto the CV joint and forms a core part of the vehicle's braking sensor system. As the wheel turns, the ABS sensor reads the teeth on the ring to monitor rotational speed in real time. If an ABS ring on your Saab 900 cracks or corrodes, the sensor can no longer transmit an accurate signal to the control unit. As a result, the ABS system cannot regulate braking pressure effectively during sudden stops, increasing the risk of wheel lock-up. A sound reluctor ring is therefore essential to prevent accidents and ensure the car's safety systems perform exactly as intended when it left the factory in Trollhättan.
Common symptoms of wear
The most frequent sign of a failed ABS ring on a Saab 900 is an ABS warning light glowing steadily on the instrument panel. You may also experience the ABS kicking in under normal, low-speed braking, producing an unpleasant pulsation through the brake pedal. Because many Saab 900s are driven on salted European winter roads, rust and corrosion are the primary reasons these rings crack or lose teeth. If you hear a scraping sound from the wheel arch or notice unusual speedometer behaviour, these are also signs that the ring needs immediate replacement to prevent secondary damage to the wheel speed sensors.
How to choose the correct ABS ring
Selecting the right ABS ring for your Saab 900 requires close attention to technical specifications. There are notable differences depending on whether your car is an early classic model or a later version in the 900 range. The most critical step is to check the number of teeth on the existing ring alongside its exact inside diameter, as these measurements must match for the sensor to read the signal correctly. The easiest way to ensure a precise fit is to filter by your car's make, model and engine variant in our shop. This narrows the selection to verified matching parts, preventing incorrect purchases and unnecessary returns during repairs.
Related parts to inspect
Take a moment to check these exact pages for the same vehicle while replacing an ABS ring:
When a drivetrain component wears out, related components on the same vehicle often require inspection as well. Comparing these exact pages for the Saab 900 makes it easier to determine whether an issue lies purely with the ABS ring or with an adjacent part of the driveline.
This is especially true for models where vibrations, play and strange noises can spread between multiple parts in the drivetrain. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing one correct part while overlooking an adjacent component that causes the same symptom.
Replacing worn components at the same time saves both time and labour costs in the long run, as the work involved in dismantling the suspension is largely the same regardless of how many parts you replace.

Frequently asked questions about ABS rings for Saab 900 - Find the right ABS reluctor ring online
How do I know if my Saab 900 needs a new ABS ring?
If the ABS warning light comes on or the brake pedal pulses at low speeds, it is often a sign of a cracked, corroded or fouled ABS ring.
Can I replace just the ABS ring, or do I need to replace the entire CV joint?
On most Saab 900 models, you can easily replace just the ABS ring, provided that the CV joint is otherwise in good condition and has not been damaged by rust.
How many teeth should the ABS ring have on a Saab 900?
This varies depending on the model year and engine variant. Select your vehicle's make, model and engine in our vehicle selector to find the exact specification for your car.
Why do ABS rings crack on the Saab 900?
The most common cause is corrosion forming on the CV joint underneath the ring, which builds up pressure from within and eventually causes the ring to crack under tension.
Is it difficult to fit a new ABS ring?
It requires separating the CV joint from the wheel hub. The new ring is then pressed or carefully heated into place so that it sits securely without sustaining damage.
