Front ABS Wheel Speed Sensor O-Ring Size
So I recently put a brand new Koyo wheel bearing in early January 2018 on my Driver Front knuckle and today I could hear a loud rumble, louder than what my snow tires makes isolated to that corner of the car.
I lifted the front end, and shook the Driver side wheel and sure enough, there's play in the 12 and 6 o'clock positions as well as its loud and rough when spinning the wheel.
I found out that the cause of the premature failure was due to a salt and snow/slush mix of water coming in through the ABS wheel speed sensor due to the O-ring failing and contaminating the bearing and drying up the grease..
Does anyone know what size O-ring is needed to seal the ABS speed sensor properly? I can only get a Lexus replacement by purchasing a new wheel speed sensor for $170 at Lexus which is overkill for just the O-ring I need. I bought some #67 size O-rings from Lowe's since Oriellys didn't have anything that matched.
The specs of it are 13/16" O.D. x 11/16" I.D. x 1/16"
