  • 1998 Ford Windstar - ABS light and trac warning light comes on 29 Sep 2010 (Forum)
    wheel as Ford evidently doesn't manufacture them any longer. My best choice seems to be to replace the entire half axle as a new axle comes with a new reluctor wheel. Any one else ever have this problem?

    basically. I took the car along to a Ford garage and got one of the mechanics to have a listen and he thought it was okay as well.
