Sorry i cant help you out chris - you'll find more people talking about carbon fiber hoods than anything else on here - you'll have to sort through the information to find anything worth reading.

I could be very wrong but aren't the sensors on the axles?

ABS Info

Add me to the list also!. I have an intermittent issue with ABS light coming on..going off.. Maybe it is a bad sensor or possibly excessive brake dust being accumulated on the sensor itself. Haven't really looked into it much as I need more info on the sensor assembly. BTW, I have Brembo sport pads which create more dust than previous stock pads.. IMO

The biggest most important thing that you need to know is which wheel sensor is bad. I just bought my CL and i have not looked it over . However each wheel should have a sensor. If the fr r is bad doesnt make sence to change the other side... Now you need a mechanic or someone to scan the car and tell you which sensor is bad. (They should charge you no more then 45.00 for the scan) The sensor should be the only thing attached to your wheel near or on your brake caliper with a wire. Just unplug the wire and replace the old sensor its very common sense once you pull the wheel and see the wire.

almost positive its my right rear as it looks like someone used a different wheel speed sensor than what should have been there (mounts dont line up, like its a rear left wheel speed sensor)

Is there a difference between the wheel speed sensors for each wheel? I thought they were all the same. Will a wheel speed sensor work for any of the fourn wheels?

Thanks,
