Clean Your Wheel Senors!

So I was experiencing some clicking and popping when I drove slowly through a parking lot. It was especially apparent when I would turn sharpley... So I read a thread on flat4 and someone said to clean my wheel sensors... look how dirty!

Haven't driven it yet but he said its suppost to help ALOT.

ya, ok that's dirty justin... I hope this is what the problem was and that your dccd and speed were off because of it. I will try and get around to mine and see what they look like.

wierd....


sounds like he happened to clean them at the same time fixing a common problem that causes clicking axles...

let us know because I dont see how a misreading wheel speed/abs sensor would cause a clicking noise. I wouldnt mind learning something new

i believe they are located behind the hub, I would only assume.. They are plastic so be careful when removing and retightening them.


wrx1020, you do any tracking like autox or track days?
