    Few questions...
    1. Why € so vary, from 20-to-70 ?
    2. Is it common for them to go bad?

    Had rear right replaced in May, and now "early Xmas" on dashboard again, rear left this time. I noticed that in both instances it happened as i had my trailer attached or short after. Coincidence or am i looking to a bigger problem here?

    I've heard the actual cause of failure is excessive play in the wheel bearing on the affectes side damaging the sensor. A very common fault.

    Varience of price boils down to Chinese crap to OEM equipment and everything in between.

    Thanks.
    Re bearing play, do you refer to physical sensor damage or it still kills its electronic component? The one i replaced on RRHS showed no damage to plastic bit, current failed RLHS yet to be pulled out.




    Any particular brand you feel recommend?
