ABS rings for Volvo V70 2.4 T
Finding the correct ABS ring for a Volvo V70 2.4 T is essential for both your car's safety and proper operation. This specific model variant, known for its balance of performance and comfort, requires precise spare parts so that its electronic driver assistance systems function at their best. An ABS ring, also known as an ABS reluctor ring, is a component frequently subjected to harsh conditions on European roads. Salt, moisture, and road grit cause corrosion that can over time cause the ring to crack or work loose from its seat on the CV joint.
Here at CVJoint24, you will find model-matched car parts engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, ensuring your Volvo remains safe on the road. We understand the importance of precision when it comes to drivetrain components, particularly for turbo models such as the 2.4 T where power delivery places high demands on material durability. By choosing the right quality from the start, you avoid unnecessary future repairs and ensure that your braking system responds exactly as intended in critical situations.
What does the ABS ring do on a Volvo V70 2.4 T?
The ABS ring plays a central role in your car's anti-lock braking system. It is fitted onto the drive shaft and rotates in sync with the wheel. A magnetic sensor reads the evenly spaced teeth on the ring and sends an electrical pulse to the car's electronic control unit. By analysing these pulses, the system determines whether a wheel is about to lock up during braking or losing traction under acceleration. For a powerful car like the Volvo V70 2.4 T, this data is critical for the stability control system to intervene correctly.
The sensor is mounted in the wheel hub carrier just above the ring. The distance between the sensor and the teeth of the ring—the so-called air gap—is extremely small and delicate. If the ring corrodes and expands, it can physically strike the sensor and destroy it as well, making the repair significantly more expensive. Therefore, it is important to replace a damaged ring as soon as the first symptoms appear. A properly functioning ABS ring is essential for both the ABS brakes and traction control system to do their job and protect you as a driver.
Common signs of wear
The most common sign of a defective ABS ring is the ABS warning light illuminating on the instrument cluster. Often the fault can come and go at first, especially in wet weather or after a car wash. Another very typical symptom on the Volvo V70 is the ABS activating during ordinary, low-speed braking on dry tarmac. You will feel a pulsing sensation through the brake pedal just before the vehicle comes to a complete halt, even though the wheels are not in danger of locking up.
This occurs because a crack in the ring creates an irregular gap between the teeth, deceiving the sensor into thinking the wheel has stopped turning. If you ignore these symptoms, the car's computer may completely deactivate the safety systems as a precaution. In addition to warning lights, you may occasionally hear a scraping noise if the ring has split enough to contact the sensor or surrounding suspension components. Checking the condition of the rings during seasonal tyre changes is good practice.
Choosing the right ABS ring
When selecting a replacement ABS ring for your Volvo V70 2.4 T, it is vital to verify technical specifications such as the tooth count and internal diameter. Throughout production years, Volvo used different configurations depending on chassis number and drivetrain layout. The most reliable way to find the correct part is to select your car's make, model, and engine in our vehicle selector. We have carefully curated our catalogue to ensure that the parts we list match your car's exact specification.
Measuring the old ring or counting the teeth can also serve as a helpful check to ensure a smooth installation. Fitting an incorrect ring with the wrong tooth count will transmit erroneous speed data to the car's ECU, leading to persistent fault codes. Our products are manufactured from high-grade steel with proper surface treatments to resist corrosion far better than standard alternatives, which is especially important for cars driven on salted winter roads across Europe.
Related parts to inspect
We also recommend checking these specific pages for the same vehicle when working on the ABS ring:
When a drivetrain component shows signs of wear, neighbouring parts on the same car often require inspection too. By comparing these exact pages for the Volvo V70 2.4 T, it becomes much easier to determine whether the issue lies purely with the ABS ring or another connected driveline part.
This is particularly relevant on models where vibrations, play, and noises can shift symptoms across several components in the same drivetrain. A quick check of related categories reduces the risk of replacing the correct component type while overlooking an adjacent worn part that contributes to the same problem.
By checking these components whilst the suspension is dismantled, you save significant workshop labour and minimise the need to repeat the job in the near future. An intact CV boot protects your new ABS ring and constant velocity joint from the grit and moisture that cause most driveline failures.

Frequently asked questions about ABS rings for Volvo V70 2.4 T
How do I know if my ABS ring on the Volvo V70 2.4 T is broken?
The most common signs are an illuminated ABS warning light or vibrations in the brake pedal during light braking on dry tarmac. A visual inspection will often reveal cracks in the ring caused by rust.
Can I replace just the ABS ring or do I have to replace the entire CV joint?
On the Volvo V70 2.4 T, you can easily replace just the ABS ring if the CV joint itself is otherwise in good condition. This is a very cost-effective solution compared to replacing the complete joint.
Why do ABS rings crack so often on Volvo models?
It is usually caused by corrosion building up on the CV joint beneath the ring. As the rust expands, it exerts outward pressure from underneath that eventually causes the steel ring to crack, altering the gap between the teeth.
Do all ABS rings fit all V70 models?
No, there are variations in both tooth count and diameter. For the Volvo V70 2.4 T, it is important to check the specification against your vehicle's exact make, model and engine to ensure correct operation.
Do I need special tools to replace the ABS ring?
No sophisticated special tools are needed, but you must remove the CV joint from the hub carrier. The ring is then pressed or gently tapped into place once the seating surface has been thoroughly cleaned.
Will a cracked ABS ring cause an MOT failure?
Yes, if the ABS warning light is illuminated or if the system fails to operate correctly during road testing, the car will fail its roadworthiness inspection.
