Hey guys & ladies need some quick help from anyone that has replaced their front abs sensor cable themselves or had it done ? Scale of dyi 1-10 ? More hassle than its worth ? :attention:

you talking the Speed Sensor wiring harness? plugs into the back of the spindle at the bearing seal? then runs up the spindle and upper control arm to another plug inside engine compartment right at UCA ?

super easy. just take your time learning how to remove the little covers at the spindle.

Yep that one , have one going bad on son's 05 from getting water in it & causing Xmas tree to light up . Kinda weird only does when he gets it wet or frozen then goes away , either cable got stretched or the sensor itself is going or gone ! Thanks

I replaced both fronts and the rear a little over a year ago. I stretched the fronts out when doing brakes. The rear was intermittent for about a week when the snow and ice hit and had basically rotted out where it turns upward from the rear diff.
All three are super easy. Worst part is dealing with rusted bolts. You can find genuine toyota cables on amazon for around $50 for the fronts and $100 for the rear

I've got a post on here with details of a DIY that I did on both. Years ago and still good.
