Hi guys.

I posted this query in an old thread but had no response so am starting anew.

I replaced both rear driveshafts about a year ago and it threw up the 3 amigos. I was busy and ignored it but now investigating and the ABS sensor is rubbing against the driveshaft. I marked the sensor with paint and once back in its hole in the hub it rubs on the shaft. My vehicle is 2A1…. I therefore fitted the advised part (TOB000070). Does anyone know if the superseded part (TOB000110) might be the part I need. And if not then can anyone suggest what is wrong because it seems the ABS sensor and the shaft I’ve fitted aren’t compatible.

Thanks in advance
Neil
 
Hi and thanks for your response.

Yes it’s been scanned by an automotive electrician who confirmed which ABS sensor was throwing the 3 amigos up. He also confirmed it was being hit by something in the hub and my investigation has shown it is hitting the driveshaft. I’ve installed a new ABS sensor and done a paint check. I can’t see how the shaft and sensor are compatible. I’ve even spaced the sensor out with a washer which stops the sensor rubbing on the shaft but then prevents it from reading with the magnets in the bearing.
