i have just finished dismantling my dead xantia and have mixed up the abs sensors without lableing them

they are both from the front so do they have to go sided or will anyside do

one other question can you use front sensors for the rear sensors though that question is probably going to be answered by the first one

cheers

hi Colin
i dont think the sensors themselfs are diferant, the diferants is probably the length of the cable and the mountting points, so if these are the same they should be able to fit other corners

There is a difference in the lengths of the lead and the support ring
positions comparing the front and rear sensors.

The thing you do need to watch out for though is the 'reach' of the main
sensor's cylinder body relative to the CV joint ABS ring. This is important
as the support shoulder mounting onto the hub has two different insert
brass insert collet depths depending on the size of the driveshaft and
there are differring sizes according to the specific Xantia age/model
in question.

thanks all

the cable lengths are the same and as they came off the front discs ill assume they fit either side

cheers
