Pluging ABS sensor hole in late model diffs

Chris Geiger · 02-06-2006, 01:58 PM

Later V6 3rd members have a hole on top of the diff for the anti-lock brake sensor. When installing this diff in an older truck you don't have a sensor to put in the hole. Some have suggested making a block off plate. Another solution is to use a 3/4", deep cup expansion plug (freeze plug). Napa stocks them, part number 219-3038. Cheap and easy to get. Easy to install: just slide a socket into the cap and tap a few times with a hammer.

I have a 98 4runner axle, and there are 2 sensors one on each side by the drums. Anyone have an Idea if the sensors I am speaking of are the same as the one on the diff top? THanks RYan

I don't know the answer to your question but you might want to post this in the correct forum.

Would be easy to plug those with a pipe plug also.

I have a 92 Xcab, but I bought an axle from a 98 4 runner.

The truck, and said axle is at the shop miles away. Wasn't making it there for a couple days, but would like to bring the parts when I go.
