When wheel speed sensors (WSS) were first installed on cars and trucks, they were typically mounted on the CV joints or differentials. These sensors were not the most accurate and didn’t start working until the vehicle reached 5 to 7 mph. These are called passive wheel speed sensors. As vehicles and ABS systems advanced, the wheel speed sensors moved to the knuckles and wheel bearings.

When replacing parts like a power steering pump, rack, or even a master cylinder, don’t overlook the reservoir and cap! The reservoir is essential for trapping contaminants, thanks to its built-in baffles and screens that catch debris before it reaches costly components. Failing to replace or inspect the reservoir means these contaminants could re-enter the system and cause new problems.
