I just put the new wheel bearings in the back no problem. I just replaced the front right wheel bearing and I’m getting ABS light automatic transmission. Temp lights on almost all the idiot lights are on. They are Timken brand wheel bearings that say they work with ABS. I pulled the sensor out, cleaned it and put it back in, I don’t understand what’s going on.

The Metal shield on the axle crimp over and cut through the sensor. Trying to straighten it out.

Hi,

If the only issue is the sensor, yes you can drive it. All of the lights are on due to the sensor. As far as the Timkin bearing, if it is American made, there aren't any better.

The only thing to keep in mind is that due to the sensor not working, the ABS will not work in the event of a skid.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
