Is the speed wheel sensor hard to replace? I already had the speed wheel sensor ring replaces and the code is still coming up C1175 the driver side speed wheel sensor, if anyone has info on this i greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Replacing the speed sensor is easy. Remove the wheel, undo a plug, remove a bolt, slide the sensor out. Install is the reverse.

You may want to also look at the wiring, specifically where the wiring goes into the body of the car. We have had members that have had this wiring damaged, leading to this condition. You can get a new harness for fairly cheap ($70 as I recall) if it is damaged.

 

Thanks I'll have to find out where exactly it is located I'm
Not familiar with its location.

The front is located where the back is located correct?

Since you changed out your springs, if my suspension is squeaky especially in the back what do I need to do to fix that? Also can the back suspension mess up my alignment? I had my alignment done they couldn't do anything because they said my suspension was bad and couldn't align my rear tires.

 

See another thread. It sounds like you have the very common alignment problem caused by worn bushing in the rear controls arms. There has been lots of discussions about that in the last year. They're not a really big problem to fix.

Cool
Thanks a lot! I'll look into it the place that did the alignment did an estimate to fix it all for like 3,500$ I thought they were nuts..

 

Noxparadise, you can get the lower control arms (which is what normally goes bad) for around $100 a side. To replace them, all you do is remove the wheel from the car, remove 2 bolts, the arm falls out of the car. Put the new arm in its place, reinstall the bolts, reinstall the wheel. All done. Do not forget to get the alignment redone. If you want to fix any and all possible errors, then you need to get the upper arm too. That would be another $100 an arm. So, for around $450 and say 2 hours of your time, you can fix your rear alignment issue yourself. The upper arms are just like the lowers, remove two bolts and the arm falls out of the car.

On a side note, if you do the upper arms, can I get your old ones? I am looking to come up with a way to save us some money and I am looking for a set of old arms. I will pay for the shipping, I just want the old arms.

 

Ok cool
Thanks for the info, I was just wanting to get some incite on the alignment issue. I'll probably try the lower ones first and see what happens. The speed wheel sensor shouldn't be too difficult to remove and replace I've read.

 

What If the plug is going into the frame of my car and I cannot unplug it??

 

It's the driver side rear Speed sensor that I'm talkin about.
