I have an Acura TL 2004 5at.

I bought a new half axle assembly from Cardone- 66-4221.

The problem is that the new one does not have an ABS ring. Should I just take the one off the old one and put it on the one?

I called the dealer and they do not sell that part.

Does anyone know where to find this part at?

Please help or should I just take the old one off im not to sure how hard it is to take the old one off.

 

Also, Does anyone know where I can buy another one? I have searched high and low for a new one. Dealer and every autoparts store and can not find one. This is crazy.

 

I would say take off the old one if it looks ok..but I've never tried to take one off myself. Font know if they actual are removable? Can't imagine why the new axle didn't come with one

 

Yea its kinda crazy if you ask me. From what I understand you can take the old one off. I am just afraid to brake it or something then I will be l literally screwed.

I heard that you can take them off and put them on with a torch. I am considering going to a mechanic for this unless I can find an ABS tone ring. I have searched high and low.

 

Also Check it out. I pulled the diagram and its clearly not listed as a single item.


#1 Is referring to the outer axle assembly.

 

Contact the store where you purchased the axle as they may have one with the reluctor ring installed. If not, and you can't find a suitable replacement, guess it's time for some heat. Never did an abs ring, but put the new assembly in the freezer for a while, remove and then on the old axle, heat the ring in a circular motion and when it turns a blue color, tap it off. Apply more heat to make certain it's blue, then place it on the new axle, tap it in place.

 

my 06 has the abs sensor in the wheel bearing. you sure the 04 isnt the same?

 

I am not 100%. I havent removed it but when I look at the parts diagram is looks like the ABS tone ring is on there. Guess I will have to find out.

 

Looks like we have a winner!

The front wheel bearings listed above all share a
unique design feature. They are all double row angular
contact with a split inner ring. The distinctive feature on
these bearings is that one of the two seals on the
bearing has a built in magnetic impulse wheel. Caution
should be taken to make sure that the seal with the
ABS impulse ring is installed in the correct direction.
The side with the impulse ring needs to be installed
closest to the ABS sensor. If
it is installed backwards,
the ABS system will not function.

 

I took it off today and it doesnt have an ABS ring. Sorry I am an idiot. I thought it did. Thanks for the help guys.

 

Good info to know! I just had my drivers side axle out a few days ago to replace the seal at the trans but didn't pay attention to the axle enough to notice if there was a abs ring

 

Just in case anyone was wondering there is no ABS ring on the axle I believe its already in the hub assembly for the front of the vehicle anyway. I did this install last week. It took about 45 mins because I am a NOOB haha. Cheers
