you didn't state if your car is A4 or M6 and not that it's important to know anyway.
2002 SS generally/always so far would have a 3 series carrier,unless your option code shows a GU2(2.73 2 series). A 3 channel 3 series carrier is the same as a 4 channel 3 series carrier. A 3 channel carrier requires a 'reluctor ring' to be mounted on the carrier for the ABS to function. If the carrier you're looking at getting is a 3 channel carrier and has the ring mounted on it,you can use it as is,or remove the ring,your choice. the reason you can leave it on is you would not be sensing it in your 4 channel system,which has a reluctor ring mounted on each axle.
you just have to make sure it's a 3 series 28 spline carrier.
2002 would have had a Torsen carrier(99-02),98 + earlier had Auburn carriers.
