Probably a silly question but is this driveshaft from an ABS sierra?


Driveshaft

I think it is but just want to make sure. The tooth area near the end is for the sensor pickup isn't it? Its off a V6 XR4x4 if that helps.
I phoned about wheel bearings today and apparantly its a different bearing for ABS or non ABS.
Thanks for the help!

Yes its ABS shaft

Bu**er! That means the bearings are £24 instead of £18!
Looking at other peoples posts £24 isn't a bad price for XR4x4 bearings though.

the driveshafts are identical on a non abs disc reared sierra to a abs disc reared sierra its the stub shafts that are different

Must be the stub thats different. I doubt the bearing carrier is different either. I bet there isn't much in it. An extra £9 for each bearing though! I wonder why they decided that an ABS car needed a different bearing!

Mine look just like that but are from a car that didn't have ABS. I'm expecting to need ABS bearings though.

Where did you get that price from?

I have bought the bearings now. The ones I got were from Partco and cost £24 + VAT each.
I have compared them to the old bearings and everything appears to be correct. There is also 2 nuts in each kit, a left and right hand thread. Bearings are Timkins in a Unipart box.
Maybe useful info to someone searching for bearings!

you may have to grind the teeth of the driveshafts,had to on my mk indy.not hard to do with hand grinder
