Anyone know where I should look to find abs sensors for my IRS swap? Didn’t come with them and struggling to source

We got some irs swapped guys here that beholden unobtainiums amounts of knowledge and they will chime in. I think Makoto is in the middle of an irs swapping. He may know what you need.

Yes my abs still works but aren’t the IRS abs sensors different than solid axle?

I am almost willing to bet that the only difference would be the wiring harness. I was in a pinch one time because of some gear I had mounted where my back seat use to be(and where the abs connector is) so I just cut the cable. Inside is just a simple 2 wire bundle that I soldered back together and I have never had an issue since. The pic of the one that was in the link looks exactly like the one I have in my 94 except for the harness.

Hmmm well I guess it’s worth a shot…I can easily extend some wiring.

it would not even be a matter of extending as much as just cutting the harness off of the sensors you have now and soldering them onto the ones that fit the irs

it really sucks how little abs system support there is on these cars. this is why we're forced to delete it which means there's less incentive for the market to provide parts whihcmakes the problem worse. blarg. abs is cool and i hate the fact that im having to delete it.

Turns out these were WRONG, i should have checked them! I have contacted the company and waiting to hear back if they will make this right. Until then no ABS which is not the end of the world

Thankfully no! Didn’t even get that far when it was clear they were wrong sensors

sending the wrong parts happens but this company did take care of me. They didn't have IRS abs sensors in stock when i reported it to them but late last week i received a nice pair in the mail. Good for them for not ignoring this and making it right.

Now to find the time to install
