Xantia ABS ring compatibility

[aerodynamica]

Hi all, I have a new CV joint to go on the Xantia. It's a new pattern part and everything looks identical except the ABS ring. Comparing to the old CV joint you can see the ABS teeth are like double the size:

I bought the CV joint nearly 3 months ago so I can't send it back - I only spotted the difference yesterday.... It might be specced from a later Xantia because mine is one of the earliest



Am I right in thinking fitting this CV joint will cause the ABS to fault? I think it will because the signal will always be wrong from that wheel.

Any thoughts? I wonder if I could change the ring itself?

I couldn't resist a photo of Old Katy

That will not play nicely with your abs. Can the abs ring be cut off and replaced by one with correct teeth?

I think that your replacement part may be for a Peugeot.

Hmm Peugeot huh? Darn these ebay suppliers.

I think it can be removed and possibly a new one sourced. I might be able to heat the replacement to fit it. Could probably heat this new one because the cv joint has no grease in it yet.

It was quite a cheap part at £16. I really onky need to replace the cv boot on the car so might just use the new boot from the kit.

Annoyingly the abs fault i already have - abs light comes on after a mile - is suspected as begin caused by a corroded tooth r ing on onef of the hubs...

Both the diameter and the size of the teeth changed during the lifespan of the Xantia.
I can't give you changeover dates, but I suffered a similar problem when buying replacement rings once before.

They're pretty easy to change. I would take a sharp cold chisel to the one on the existing part.
I've bought replacements from eBay. The first time I swapped one, I warmed it up on a gas ring (while my lady wife was out, obviously).

But it wasn't really necessary. The second time I did the job, I just tapped the replacement into place with a brass drift.

On closer inspection the original CV joint doesn't have a removable ring. It's part of the machining of the CV joint. The new item is removable. Does anyone know what the size and number of teeth for a 1993 Xantia are? Some available rings are coming up as 48 teeth and 90mm diameter. I won't be back at the workshop until friday PM earliest so I can't check. Looks like the ring in your photo is a 48t. What model Xantia is it from? Mine has the Bendix ABS I believe

[CitroenCrazy]

Alas, I've only had S2 Xantias, so I can't help with that one. I'm sure someone else will be along soon who can though

[aerodynamica]

Cheers, I can wait and measure it later in the week. I have this other problem with the abs lamp coming on after a mile anyway and I'm tracing the cause of that. One possible cause is a damaged or really corroded tooth ring so it's possible that I'll definitely need to source one of these anyway.

I had a loose reluctor ring on the front of my Xantia that caused the ABS light to come on after a mile or so. Once both front reluctor rings were replaced the ABS system had no further issues. Both my Xantias were S2.
