Front A-arm ABS sensor wire brackets

[supradjza80]

Guys,

I am just wondering what others have done to replace these brackets when the wire separates from the bracket? I contacted Curt at Elmhurst Toyota and would have to purchase a new ABS sensor to get the brackets so that is not going to happen...:nono:

I am thinking about Zip tying them on but was wondering if someone has found a better way to do it that isn't ghetto.

Thanks,

Dave

hard to understand whats going on. post up some pics

I will try to take some pictures. Basically there is a bracket that goes around the front part of the front upper A-arm and holds the ABS wire sensor to keep it away from the spinning wheels etc. Mine have started rusting and on one side the wire is no longer held down and Toyota does not sell the brackets separately from the sensor.

Edit:

it is the bracket that is normally attached where the little knob is on the left side of the a-arm.

in this pic you can see where the bracket should be, looks like this guy just electrical taped the wire down.

I suppose you could try the stainless steel "zip" ties...

I'm looking for a solution to this too, but i'm afraid to use zipties with these wires. If they get any chance to move around they will eventually wear enough to show the copper in the sensorwire.

de-pin the connector, run the wire through a grommet, and zip tie the grommet to the arm.

just go to a hardwaare store and get a long flat piece of metal bend twist and drill acordingly.

Yeah, don't see it being hard to fabricate...
