ABS rings for Volvo S60 2.4 T AWD
When it comes to the Volvo S60 2.4 T AWD, precision across the drivetrain is vital for the car's handling characteristics. The ABS ring, also known as an ABS reluctor ring, is a small but critical component mounted onto the CV joint. For an all-wheel-drive (AWD) vehicle, every sensor must deliver exact data to ensure that both the braking system and traction control function in perfect harmony with the four-wheel drive. At CVJoint24, we specialise in these precise drivetrain components so you can rely on your vehicle's performance in all road conditions. By choosing a model-matched ABS ring, you ensure that signals sent to the car's control unit remain accurate, which is fundamental to both safety and the vehicle's advanced stability systems.
What does the ABS ring do on a Volvo S60 2.4 T AWD?
The ABS ring on your Volvo S60 2.4 T AWD creates the magnetic pulses that the ABS sensor reads with high precision. As the wheel turns, the ring's teeth pass the sensor, generating an electrical frequency corresponding to the wheel's exact speed. This information is not only used by the anti-lock brakes, but is also central to the car's AWD system and dynamic stability and traction control (DSTC). If the ring is damaged, cracked, or clogged with dirt, the system may register false wheel lock or slip, leading to unwarranted brake intervention or inefficient torque distribution between the axles. An intact ring is therefore essential for the intelligent drivetrain to operate exactly as intended from the factory.
Common signs of wear
The most common indicator of a failing ABS ring on a Volvo S60 is an illuminated ABS warning light on the dashboard. You may also experience unwanted ABS intervention during low-speed braking, felt as an unnatural judder or pulsing through the brake pedal. Because these rings are constantly exposed to water, road salt, and dirt, corrosion is the primary cause of cracking or missing teeth. A cracked ring expands slightly, altering the air gap to the sensor and creating a distorted signal. If you notice these symptoms, it is time to inspect the rings on your CV joints before the safety systems deactivate entirely to protect the vehicle.
How to choose the correct ABS ring
Selecting the right ABS ring for a Volvo S60 2.4 T AWD requires precision and attention to technical details. Variations exist depending on model year and specific chassis numbers, even within the 2.4 T engine range. The most critical factors are the tooth count and the internal diameter, ensuring the ring presses onto your existing CV joint securely without any play. We strongly recommend filtering by your car's make, model, and engine variant to find the exact match for your vehicle. As driveline specialists, we have aligned all technical specifications with your car's requirements. When fitting a new ring, be sure to clean the mating surface on the constant velocity joint thoroughly to prevent underlying rust from stressing or cracking the new component.
Related parts to inspect
Take a moment to check these related pages for the same vehicle while replacing an ABS ring:
When one drivetrain component shows signs of wear, related components often warrant inspection as well. Comparing these exact parts for the Volvo S60 2.4 T AWD makes it easier to determine whether an issue lies with the ABS ring or another adjoining part of the power transmission.
This is especially true on AWD models where vibrations, play, and noises can travel between several drivetrain components. Checking related categories reduces the risk of replacing one correct part while overlooking an adjacent component that contributes to the same issue.

Frequently asked questions about ABS rings for Volvo S60 2.4 T AWD
How do I know if the ABS ring is faulty on my Volvo S60 2.4 T AWD?
The most common symptoms are an illuminated ABS warning light, brake system warning messages on the dash, or the ABS pulsating through the brake pedal during light braking at low speeds.
Can I drive my Volvo S60 if the ABS warning light is on?
The car can still be driven, but active safety systems such as ABS and traction control (DSTC) may be disabled. You should resolve the fault promptly to maintain optimum braking performance and vehicle stability.
Why do ABS rings crack on Volvo models?
The primary cause is corrosion. Rust builds up on the CV joint beneath the ring, creating outward pressure that eventually causes the hardened steel ring to crack.
Do I have to replace the entire CV joint if only the ABS ring is broken?
No, you can usually just replace the ABS ring provided the CV joint itself is in good working order. This is a far more cost-effective repair.
Is there a difference between front and rear ABS rings on an AWD model?
Yes, specifications such as the number of teeth and diameter can vary between the front and rear axles. Always filter by your car's exact make, model and engine to find the correct part for each axle position.
How many teeth should an ABS ring have for a Volvo S60 2.4 T AWD?
It typically varies between 48 and 54 teeth depending on the exact specification. Always check against your vehicle's specifications or select your vehicle's details in our shop to ensure you get the correct tooth count.
