ABS rings for Volvo S40 2.4
The Volvo S40 2.4 combines Scandinavian design with a punchy five-cylinder engine, placing specific demands on your car's mechanical components. The ABS ring is often overlooked until a problem develops, yet its role in vehicle safety is essential. At CVJoint24, we have developed thorough expertise across Volvo models and understand the specific requirements S40 2.4 owners face. Our selection of ABS rings is carefully chosen to match original-equipment precision and durability. Choosing a model-specific ABS reluctor ring ensures your braking system communicates accurately with the onboard electronics, securing reliable performance and safety across varying European road conditions.
What does the ABS ring do on a Volvo S40 2.4?
The ABS ring on your Volvo S40 2.4 is central to monitoring wheel speed. Mounted on the drive shaft, it rotates in unison with the wheel while a magnetic sensor reads the ring's teeth to send electrical pulses to the ABS control module. If the module detects that one wheel is rotating slower than the others during braking—indicating impending lock-up—it immediately modulates brake pressure to that corner. For a saloon with the weight and power of the Volvo S40 2.4, this system is vital for maintaining steering control under emergency braking. Without an intact ABS ring, this intelligent braking assistance is lost, making driving hazardous on wet or slippery roads.
Common signs of wear
Several clear warning signs indicate that an ABS ring on your Volvo S40 2.4 is failing. The most obvious is an illuminated or flashing ABS warning light on the dashboard. Another frequent symptom is an unexpected pulsing sensation through the brake pedal during light braking on dry tarmac, caused by a cracked ring transmitting erratic wheel-speed signals. Corrosion is the primary culprit: rust builds up beneath the ring, pushing outward until it snaps. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to the entire ABS system shutting down, stripping away your safety margin. We recommend visually inspecting the reluctor rings whenever you change tyres.
Choosing the correct ABS ring
When selecting a replacement ABS ring for your Volvo S40 2.4, exact technical specifications matter far more than price alone. Variations exist depending on drive configuration and production details. The tooth count on the ring must match what your vehicle's wheel speed sensor is calibrated for, or fault codes will persist after fitting. At cvjoint24.com, you can easily find the correct fitment by selecting your car's make, model and engine variant. Our fitment guarantee gives you full confidence that your new parts will fit your Volvo S40 2.4 accurately, saving time and workshop costs during installation.
Related components to check
Be sure to check these related pages for the same vehicle when working on the ABS ring:
When one drivetrain component shows wear, adjacent parts on the vehicle often require attention too. Comparing these exact pages for your Volvo S40 2.4 makes it straightforward to confirm whether an issue stems solely from an ABS ring or another connected driveline part.
This is particularly relevant for models where vibrations, play and unusual noises can travel across multiple components. Inspecting related categories helps ensure you replace the right part without overlooking nearby items that contribute to the same problem.

Frequently asked questions about ABS rings for Volvo S40 2.4
How do I know if the ABS ring on my Volvo S40 2.4 is damaged?
The most common symptoms are the ABS warning light illuminating on the dashboard or feeling vibrations and pulsing through the brake pedal during normal braking at low speeds.
Can I replace just the ABS ring, or do I need to replace the entire CV joint?
On the Volvo S40 2.4, you can often simply replace the ABS ring on its own, provided the CV joint itself is in good condition without any play or unusual noises.
Why do ABS rings crack on the Volvo S40?
The most common cause is corrosion. Rust builds up on the drive shaft beneath the ring, exerting outward pressure until the reluctor ring eventually cracks.
Do all ABS rings fit every Volvo S40 model?
No, there are differences in both diameter and tooth count. Always select your vehicle's make, model, and engine variant in our vehicle selector to find the exact part for your 2.4 model.
What happens if I drive with a cracked ABS ring?
The ABS may stop functioning correctly, increasing the risk of wheels locking up during emergency braking. It can also interfere with the electronic stability programme (DSTC).
