Why this sensor matters now
On modern commercial vehicles, accurate wheel speed data is the foundation for ABS, traction control and stability systems. If the signal drops out or becomes erratic, these assistants can no longer intervene cleanly—costing you stopping distance, rubber and uptime. The HERTH+BUSS ELPARTS Sensor, Raddrehzahl restores crisp, stable wheel speed feedback at the front left axle. It’s brand-grade quality at a sensible price point of €17.99 incl. VAT—ideal for fleets, workshops and hands-on owner-operators.
Who and which vehicles benefit
The HERTH+BUSS ELPARTS Sensor, Raddrehzahl suits many trucks, vans and buses that use an ABS wheel speed sensor on the front axle (left). It’s especially relevant for vehicles exposed to grit, road salt, splash water and debris—think construction haulage, regional distribution and long-haul mileage in all seasons. After work on the hub, bearing, brake or steering knuckle, replacing a corroded or damaged sensor is often the smartest path to reliable ABS function.
Typical replacement triggers
Wheel speed sensors are tough but not indestructible. Corrosion in the bore, vibration-induced cable breaks and mechanical chafing can all take their toll. Common clues include an illuminated ABS light, frequent traction/stability interventions, implausible wheel speed values on a scan tool or unusual ABS pulsing at very low speeds. These are not cause for alarm, but they are clear signs to inspect—and, if needed, replace—the affected corner.
Built for the real world
The HERTH+BUSS ELPARTS Sensor, Raddrehzahl stands for precise signal capture and durable construction. The assembly features a rugged, ribbed protective loom to shield the lead against grime and abrasion, a smooth cylindrical sensor head that seats cleanly in the knuckle, and a connector with a secondary lock for a secure electrical interface. In short: dependable pulses, robust sealing against moisture and a workshop-friendly plug design—what a hard-working truck actually needs.
What a failing sensor feels like
Watch for an ABS warning lamp, intermittent stability control actions, odd wheel speed readings on diagnostics, or a faint, irregular pedal pulsation during gentle stops. If you’re seeing one or more of these symptoms, the HERTH+BUSS ELPARTS Sensor, Raddrehzahl is a straightforward fix to bring your brake electronics back on song.
Fitment made easy: vehicle filter and OE cross-check
Getting the right part is simple in our shop. Use the vehicle selector via HSN/TSN or choose by make, model and engine to filter the exact match. We also provide OE cross-reference numbers so you can double-check compatibility with confidence—no guesswork. As a final visual check, compare the connector: the plug features a distinctive shape with a yellow secondary lock.
Installation and care tips
You won’t need exotic tools. Switch off the ignition, release the connector and carefully remove the old sensor. Clean the sensor bore in the knuckle so the new unit seats fully and square. Route the harness away from sharp edges, rotating parts and heat sources; use the intended clips and guides. Ensure the plug is clean, dry and clicks home positively. After installation, run a quick scan and take a short road test to verify the ABS signal. Always follow your vehicle manufacturer’s procedures and tightening guidelines.
Buying advice that saves time
Before ordering, confirm the mounting position (front left) and visually match the connector. Use our vehicle selector for pinpoint accuracy, then verify with the OE cross-references listed on the product page if needed. Many fleet managers keep a spare on the shelf to cut downtime—at €17.99 incl. VAT, that’s an easy win for availability. If one front sensor has already failed, it’s wise to inspect the other side for chafe or corrosion to avoid a second visit.
Bottom line and next step
