Insert sensor wire through support plate hole. Then seat sensor grommet in support plate. Apply Mopar Lock N' Seal or Loctite (R) 242 to original sensor bolt.
- Use new bolt if original is worn or damaged. Install sensor bolt finger tight only at this time. If original rear sensor was installed air gap to .036-.05" (.92-1.275 mm). Use feeler gauge to measure air gap. See Fig 3
. Tighten sensor bolt to 115 INCH lbs. (13 N.m). If new sensor was installed, push cardboard spacer on sensor face against tone ring. See Fig 4
. Then tighten sensor bolt to 115 INCH lbs. (13 N.m). Correct air gap will be established as tone ring rotates and peels spacer off sensor face.
- Route sensor wires to rear seat area. Feed sensor wires through floorpan access hole and seat sensor grommets in floopan. Verify that rear sensor wires are secured to rear brake hose and axle with clips. Verify that wire is clear or rotating components. Install brake drum and wheel and tire assembly. Lower vehicle.
