ABS rings for Volvo S60 2.4 T5
Owning a Volvo S60 2.4 T5 means driving a car with both performance and comfort. To maintain these qualities, every component in the drivetrain and safety systems must work optimally. One of the most critical, yet frequently overlooked, components is the ABS ring. This small but essential part is mounted on the CV joint and plays a vital role in the car's anti-lock braking system. At CVJoint24 you will find high-quality ABS rings specifically developed to meet the demands of a performance model like the S60 T5. By selecting the correct spare part, you ensure that your vehicle's safety systems communicate accurately with the wheels, which is fundamental to your safety on the road.
What does an ABS ring do on a Volvo S60 2.4 T5?
The ABS ring, also known as a reluctor ring or pulse wheel, provides the ABS sensor with precise information regarding wheel speed. On a Volvo S60 2.4 T5, this system is fine-tuned to cope with the car's torque and speed. As the wheel turns, the teeth of the ring pass the sensor, generating an electrical signal. If the system detects that one wheel is rotating slower than the others during braking—indicating an impending lock-up—the ABS intervenes to modulate braking pressure. Without a functioning ABS ring, the system cannot read wheel speed correctly, causing safety features like stability control and anti-lock brakes to fail or behave erratically. It is a compact yet technically sophisticated component of your car's active safety setup.
Common signs of wear
The most common symptom that an ABS ring on your Volvo S60 2.4 T5 has failed is the ABS warning light illuminating on the dashboard. This is frequently caused by the ring cracking due to corrosion developing beneath it. When the ring cracks, the spacing between its teeth changes, confusing the sensor. Another telltale symptom is the ABS kicking in and shuddering during routine low-speed braking, even on dry, smooth tarmac. You might also notice unnatural pulsations through the brake pedal. If you spot these warning signs, it is time to inspect the rings, as a cracked ring can soon cause consequential damage to both sensors and other drivetrain components. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to reduced braking performance in critical situations.
How to choose the correct ABS ring
When purchasing a replacement ABS ring for your Volvo S60 2.4 T5, it is essential to check the tooth count and the inner diameter of the ring. Over the years, Volvo has used varying specifications depending on the model year and specific drivetrain. The most reliable way to secure the right part is to filter by your car's make, model and engine. Because the S60 2.4 T5 is a dedicated engine variant with a sturdier drivetrain, getting a part tailored exactly to this setup is crucial. We always advise thoroughly cleaning the mounting face on the CV joint before pressing the new ring into place, preventing rust from splitting the replacement ring prematurely. Choosing a ring with durable surface protection for European driving conditions also ensures long-lasting reliability.
Related parts to inspect
Feel free to check these matching pages for the same vehicle when working on the ABS ring:
When one drivetrain component shows signs of wear, nearby parts on the same car often require attention too. Comparing these exact pages for the Volvo S60 2.4 T5 makes it simpler to determine whether the issue lies purely with the ABS ring or with an adjacent part of the power transmission.
This is particularly relevant on models where vibrations, play and unusual noises can shift symptoms across several components in the drivetrain. A quick check of related categories minimises the risk of replacing the right part type while missing an adjacent component affecting the same issue.
While working on the ABS ring on your Volvo S60 2.4 T5, it is wise to inspect the rest of the drivetrain. Because the ring sits on the outer CV joint, check the condition of the CV boot to ensure dirt has not entered the joint. If you experience vibrations during acceleration, it could indicate that a drive shaft is starting to wear. Likewise, an outer constant velocity joint often wears alongside the ABS ring.

Frequently asked questions about ABS rings for Volvo S60 2.4 T5
How do I know if the ABS ring on my Volvo S60 2.4 T5 is damaged?
The most common symptoms are an illuminated ABS warning light, vibrations or pulsing through the brake pedal at low speeds, or the ABS activating unexpectedly on dry surfaces.
Can I replace just the ABS ring, or do I need to replace the entire CV joint?
On the Volvo S60 2.4 T5, you can easily replace just the ABS ring if the CV joint is otherwise in good condition. This is a very cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire joint.
Why do ABS rings crack on Volvo models?
This is usually caused by corrosion (rust) developing beneath the ring on the CV joint. As the rust expands, it creates outward pressure that eventually causes the ring to crack.
Will a broken ABS ring cause an MOT or roadworthiness test failure?
Yes, if the ABS warning light is on or the system is malfunctioning, the car will fail its roadworthiness inspection, as this is classed as a major safety defect.
Are the front and rear ABS rings identical on an S60 T5?
No, they often differ between the front and rear axles, as well as depending on whether the car is front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Always select your exact vehicle details to ensure you get the correct part.
How do I find the right ABS ring for my car?
Select your make, model and engine variant in our search selector, and we will display the ABS rings technically verified to fit your specific Volvo S60 2.4 T5.
