Greetings,
I need to replace BOTH front ABS sensors for a 2 wheel drive explorer with the 5.0. I see that rock auto FINALLY lists a front sensor from Standard Motor Products (P/N ALS168) but its almost 80 bucks. I looked at a 2WD 1998, and I see a sensor that PHYSICALLY looks the exact same, the DORMAN 970281. These sensors look the same, down to the connector and the mounting tabs.... but its only 25 bucks.
Can I use the later model 2wd ABS sensors on my 1996 2wd, or do I need to shell out the cash for the 1996-7 specific ones?
Ive searched all over, and cannot find any answer to this question.
