Protective sleeve ABS sensor front axle for Volvo 200, 700, and 900

13.03.2026

In many cars, the ABS sensor with plastic housing is located directly in the steering knuckle. If there is any corrosion, this can cause the housing to become dented and leak quite quickly. In such vehicles, replacement is usually necessary after 8-15 years.

Unlike many other vehicles, the ABS sensors in the Volvo 200, 700, and 900 have a metal housing around the coil, which is in turn protected by a sleeve in the seat. This prevented the destructive pressure of corrosion on the steering knuckle for decades, giving the sensors a long life.

Often, the sensor cannot be removed without causing damage, and the sleeve falls apart because sometimes it is even necessary to drill. Although this sleeve has no technical function, if it is left out, the way is open for salt water and corrosion in the steering knuckle. Eventually, the sensor will be crushed by rust.

It is therefore worthwhile to reinsert a sleeve there. Advantageously, the sleeve is also inserted with grease to prevent capillary action from attacking it in the first place.

We have had this sleeve reproduced from corrosion-free plastic, and it serves the same purpose as the original brass part. It is also the first thing that can be crushed, but it is easier to remove during removal. However, that will certainly not be the case again for another thirty years!

The reproduced sleeve is now available in our shop under the number 1107265.
