ABS rings for Volvo V70 2.4
The Volvo V70 2.4 is one of Europe's most iconic and popular family models, renowned for its outstanding comfort and durable engines. Yet even such a reliable workhorse requires diligent maintenance of its technical systems to remain safe on the road. The ABS ring, also known as an ABS reluctor ring, is a small yet crucial part of the car's safety equipment. It is fitted in an exposed environment where it constantly faces moisture, road salt and severe temperature changes. At CVJoint24, you will find specially selected ABS rings engineered to endure harsh European conditions and fit your Volvo V70 2.4 perfectly. We understand the importance of precision when it comes to the braking system, which is why we only offer parts that meet the highest standards.
What does the ABS ring do on a Volvo V70 2.4?
The ABS ring acts as the mechanical counterpart to the ABS sensor. On a Volvo V70 2.4, this ring features an exact number of teeth that generate a magnetic pulse as the wheel turns. This pulse is picked up by the sensor and sent to the car's electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU uses this data to calculate the speed of each wheel in real time. If you brake heavily and a wheel begins to lock up, the system detects this thanks to the signal from the ABS ring and immediately modulates the braking pressure. Without a functioning ring, the car loses its ability to make these split-second adjustments, meaning the anti-lock brakes stop working properly and braking stability is severely compromised.
Common signs of wear and failure
By far the most common issue with the ABS ring on a Volvo V70 2.4 is corrosion. Rust frequently develops beneath the ring, between the reluctor ring and the CV joint, creating pressure from the inside. This pressure causes the ring to expand and eventually crack. One of the earliest signs of a broken ABS ring is the ABS warning light illuminating on the instrument cluster. Another very common symptom is the ABS kicking in under normal, low-speed braking just before the car comes to a complete standstill. This feels like a pulsing or vibrating sensation in the brake pedal, even on dry, level tarmac. If you notice this, it is high time to inspect the rings, as a cracked ring sends an erratic signal that confuses the vehicle's computer.
How to choose the correct ABS ring
When purchasing a replacement ABS ring for your Volvo V70 2.4, it is vital to check the exact specifications carefully. Different variations exist depending on the specific model year and configuration, with differences in tooth count and internal diameter. Counting the teeth on your old ring is an accurate way to verify compatibility, but the simplest and most reliable method is to select your car's exact make, model and engine variant in our shop. By selecting your vehicle details, we filter out the parts that are technically verified for your specific car. Because an incorrect ring can cause the safety system to fail or keep warning lights illuminated, getting the right fit is paramount to a successful repair.
Related driveline parts to inspect
Feel free to check these related pages for the same vehicle while replacing an ABS ring:
When a drivetrain component exhibits wear, adjacent parts on the same car often require inspection as well. Comparing these exact pages for the Volvo V70 2.4 makes it straightforward to determine whether the fault lies strictly with the ABS ring or another neighbouring driveline component.
This is particularly relevant on models where vibrations, play and unusual noises can transfer symptoms across several parts in the same drivetrain. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing the correct component type while overlooking a neighbouring part that affects the very same issue.

Frequently asked questions about ABS rings for Volvo V70 2.4
Why is the ABS warning light on in my Volvo V70 2.4?
This is most often caused by a cracked ABS ring or a dirty or faulty sensor. A cracked ring sends an incorrect signal, causing the system to log a fault code and illuminate the warning light.
Can I drive my Volvo V70 2.4 with a broken ABS ring?
The car can still be driven, but the anti-lock brakes (ABS) and stability control system (STC/DSTC) may not function. This increases safety risks, especially in slippery conditions or during emergency braking.
Do I have to replace the entire CV joint if only the ABS ring is broken?
No, on the Volvo V70 2.4 you can easily replace just the ABS ring. This is a significantly cheaper alternative to replacing the complete CV joint, provided the joint itself is otherwise in good condition.
How many teeth does an ABS ring for the Volvo V70 2.4 have?
The most common tooth count for this model is 48, but it can vary depending on the model year. We recommend selecting your exact vehicle model and year on our site to verify the correct specification.
Will a car pass the annual inspection (MOT) with a broken ABS ring?
No, if the ABS light is illuminated or the system fails to operate correctly during testing, the vehicle will fail its roadworthiness inspection and require a retest.
Why do ABS rings crack so often on Volvo models?
This is primarily due to rust forming on the CV joint beneath the ring. Corrosion expands and occupies more volume than metal, creating immense pressure that eventually causes the hardened steel ring to snap.
