So I've been trying to figure out why my ABS INOP & ASR lights have been on, and I finally figured it out.. The guy who I bought my replacement rear end off of is apparently an idiot, and when he was building this rear he forgot to install the little wheel speed sensor ring thing on the driver side rear of the car. How that even happens I don't know, but now I need to figure out how to fix it.
Can anyone give me that part number, and share with me what I need to do to fix this? If I'm not explaining it well enough, it's the little ring gear thing that the wheel speed sensor reads to determine speed. Also, does anyone know what I need to do to actually replace this thing? Will I need to disassemble the whole rear end and pull the axle out?
1st of all,is the car ABS only ( 3 channel ) OR ABS & TC ( 4 channel ) ?
An ABS 3 channel would have the 'ring' mounted on the carrier inside the rear. A ABS & TC 4 channel would have 2 rings ( one on each axle ) located outward of the backing plates.
The 4 channel ring does not have a part number as it was part of the 4 channel axle.

Thanks for the info. It's a 4 channel rear. Good to know there's no part number, I was about to take the other side apart to try and see if I could find one stamped on it.
I just got off the phone with MWC a little bit ago since I found a thread saying they may have some rings, and it seems theirs wouldn't work with my factory axles. Seems like my only option would be dealing with Strange to get a replacement ring, or to try contacting a junkyard who might be able to pull one off. Bummer, but oh well. Probably just going to live with it until I order a new rear.
