Damage to ABS sensor when replacing struts?

Yes, when replacing struts, there is a possibility of damaging the ABS sensor wire if the strut is not removed properly. The ABS sensor is located near the wheel and is attached to the strut. If the strut is removed without disconnecting the ABS sensor, the wire can be stretched or broken. This can cause the ABS system to malfunction, which can lead to decreased braking performance and increased stopping distances.

Tips to avoid damaging ABS sensor when replacing struts:

- Disconnect the ABS sensor before removing the strut.

- Use a pry bar or other tool to carefully pry the sensor away from the strut.

- Be careful not to pull on the sensor wire.

- If the sensor wire is damaged, replace it before installing the new strut.

Additional tips for safely replacing struts:

- Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

- Use the proper tools for the job.

- If you are not comfortable replacing struts, take the vehicle to a qualified mechanic.
