Have You Encountered ABS Tone Ring Damage?

Unfortunate Event vs. Engineering Issue
This is a centralization post to hopefully get all occurrences of ABS tone ring damage from rocks/debris.
In my particular case, a sharp rock got caught into the rear abs ring and bent the ring.
Looking at other vehicles, this part is not exposed and, even if it is, it has a very small surface area or is gear-shaped (no holes).
The ring tone used in the Grenadier is exposed and has large holes, where rocks and debris might get caught.
My theory is that the engineering team got this wrong, and this type of damage is pretty common.
So, if you have ABS ring damage, plase post here with details of your particular case.



The symptoms of a damaged ABS ring tone in the Grenadier is a total electronic meltdown, with the telltale lit like a Christmas Tree: Gearbox, Engine, ABS, Brakes, TC, Steering and other malfunctions at the same time.

Not sure you can say they got this wrong, it is an uncommon implementation so I would suggest it has been done for a very specific reason. Having taken a look without removing the wheel, hub and disc to expose the ring I can’t tell you what that reason is, but I would guess it is to make it easier to replace if faulty. The larger ring may also give more pulses/data per rotation which may give a more accurate reading?

Foreign non-ferromagnetic material doesn't cause any problems.
