Bend the metal shield back. I assume that's what caused the wear.

 

That shield is just a dust shield.

Going to try that. Hopefully that fixes the signal problem as well I imagine it can not fiction correctly if the sensor is vibrating getting rubbed by the shield

So 3rd time lucky spoke to the tech at subaru.

On oem seals from subaru they have a small arrow to point towArds front and a R or L for each side.

Tap in lightly with socket keeping flat until outside edge is 1/16 from flush with transmission case

3rd time lucky!

Thanks for all the help here everyone

In post 6 you see where my shield wore the sensor.

 

Is that what yours looks like ?

Yes sir same spot just no wear near as bad minimal damage as I caught it pretty quick

What did you do to to yours to stop it?

Please read your second sentence above and tell me what it says

 

"I noticed the sensor had with from the axle protective bearing shield"

Haha sorry was in such a state typing my bad.

Was surpose to say, I noticed the sensor has wear from the axle sheild

I guess the axle sheild is to far forward in the knuckle and rubs on the sensor. I think I caught it early so I took them out with minimal damage and now running with none until I can figure out wear the problem is

You may have damaged one of the ABS sensors.

 

You need to find out he code the CEL is showing.

 

Do you know how to have a auto parts store or repair shop do that for you ?

Yeah I will get the codes for the abs asap

I replaced both the front senses with brand new ones after a short drive I noticed the sensor had with from the axle protective bearing shield so I feel like the gap for the sensor is wrong and I don't understand why as I double checked or talk double check link of axle and now have OEM everything

I really appreciate your input and advice it's nice to have someone who can I'm sure relate

There is a thread where I have replaced the rear wheel speed sensors. You can see pictures of the wear in my old sensor. If yours looked like that they need to be replaced.

 

 

First I think you need to find out what CEL code you have.

 

 

Here is old and new.

I need your help bud

Years ago I found Moog's will not work on the fronts, my 05 wagon still has Moog Hubs on both rears.

 

I see your new here, you must use a name brand on the fronts. NSK, SKF, NTN, Timken.

 

Prices seem to vary during the year.

 

Also see JmP's sticky up top about various parts, there are links there to recommended hubs.

 

Years back, when I learned the Moog's don't work on the front, it take me 45 minutes to replace the Moog with a OEM hub.

So I changed the bearings for oem also new speed sensors and still the same lights and codes. This is ridiculously frustrating now

The axle seals has a left and right but each one has little squares on the outside lip. Is there a correct orientation of the seals and a depth to be sunk I have read protruding a little past the transmission case and then I have also read for them to be flush

Any help greatly appreciated I am on my 3rd seal now and I need this one not to leak

Thanks all

oh, would the service manual help you... http://people.csail.mit.edu/ilh/vacation/

Thanks for you input. I saw some people had success with moggs that's why I went with them. I have emailed mogg to see there input.

Do you think there is any chance that the speedsensor needs to wear to the new bearing and knuckle. There was a deff wear groove when I first took it out and I feel like replacing everything would cause a gap now? Just my thoughts

Hi guys new member long time follower

I have searched everywhere and need some help bad!

Hopefully you good people can save me

Quick back story

2005 lgt mt

Changed front axles, bearings and knuckle

First time I changed to the ultrapower wheel bearings

Turned the car on and moved 5 feet and CEL abs and flashing cruise with pl ss on odometer car is in limp mode

After alot of research turns out I guess the cheap bearings are no good and mess with the speed sensors.

So I order the moog wheel bearings after reading alot of reviews to confirm people have these work on the front.

Put the new moog bearings in this time I drive for 10 mins no lights, not in limp mode but have no speed showing!

Drive again and wanted to make sure abs was working so I hit the breaks and all the lights come back on same codes same lights but now the speed is showing.

So now I am lost next I guess is replace the speed sensors?

My thought is the new bearing and knuckle need a new sensor as I guess the old one is worn in for the pervious setup.

Sensors have a small groove from rubbing on something but look in good shape.

Could it be that the old sensors have to big of gaps for all the new parts.

Hoping I really don't have to change the bearings again for the 3rd time.

Please I need some help and advise asap!

I appreciate all your help
