REAR HUB AND SPEED SENSOR PICK UP HELP NEEDED | |
I have been trying to track down an issue with HDC and inactive suspension faults, I think it is originating from the left rear wheel.
Yesterday I reversed out from a car park and there was a very loud noise, almost like a bang, grinding noise, I then had no acceleration, it was like the brakes were locking on and preventing me driving over 5 kph. There seemed to be a thumping noise coming from the REAR left wheel. UI had a friend follow on foot and he confirmed the noise was from the left rear wheel
This later cleared and I was able to drive it home at normal speed. I removed the rear wheel today and it was hard to get off the studs, it seemed to be seized, a bit of banging released it.
I removed the brake caliper and disc, The hand brake shoes has a few cracks going through them, These will need replacing, but I don't think it was a hand brake shoe stuck and binding that caused the problem.
I re assembled every thing, and replaced the Rear left hand wheel ABS sensor. .
I then reset all fault codes and went for a test drive. immediately the suspension & HDC warning lights csme up, The speedo was also now showing I was traveling at 160kph when I was traveling at approx 60kph.
So I'm starting to lean to the cause of my ongoing problem is coming from the left rear wheel.
I had a look in micorcat at what parts are in the hub.
I see there is a Knuckle in which the wheel sensor is inserted, a bearing, a circlip and the hub.
Question I have is where does the sensor get it's pick up from, there does not appear to be any reluctor to pick up a signal. I googled pics of the hub and there doesn't appear to be a reluctor on it? , the Knuckle just appears to have a bearing inside, so I am lost.
I feel I will have to pull the hub off and investigate further.
