Abs sensor on my 12 bolts(Strange)

Ok i will be in vacancy at the end of the month and i will try to have the time to install my new 12 bolts.

My car as originally abs and tcs(so a 4 channel) but i have not send my reluctor to strange so they can be press in because in hate tcs and dont use it.

With the stock rear end my sensor are on the side of the pumpkin.

With my 12 bolts the abs sensor is on the top of the pumpkin.

So am i gonna have trouble to install it properly or the location of the sensor doesn t change anything at all ?

Thank you

Confusing... if you have 4-channel TCS, you have sensors on the backing plates. You wouldn't have any sensors "on the side of the pumpkin". Even if you only had 3-channel ABS, there are no sensor(s) on the side of the pumpkin, there is a single sensor on the top of the pumpkin, reading a reluctor wheel attached to the carrier.

You can't just run a single sensor into a 4-channel ABS/TCS system and expect it to work, if that is what you are asking. You need to have the sensors installed on the Strange axles, or you will not have TCS or ABS.

Re: Abs sensor on my 12 bolts(Strange)

The ABS/TCS computer is looking for two sensors from the back wheels. It needs both those to make either the ABS or the TCS work. You would have to swap out your ABS/TCS components with ABS-only components.

No problemo:

-Hmm ok how hard is it?
-And what do i need?

or

-Would it be more simple to put a proportion valve and get rid of all this?

Thank you

Why not just send the axles/reluctors to Strange and be done with it. If you don't like TCS, simply get the SLP switch that alters the console button, so when you turn the key on, the TCS is "off" and will not activate until you push the button..... then just don't push the button and you will never have to worry about TCS.

Hmm maybe because im in Québec,Canada and it would be too much trouble to send it back

So what problem could i have if i just dont plug the abs back?Bad braking?

or put a proportion valve ?

Thank you for your time
