Hello All,
This is my second post in connection to a recent previous post. I just bought a used 2004 RX330 and there's a couple problems that have popped up (of course after I left the dealership). I've searched the net and this forum with no luck for solving my problems. To start, I need to replace have to replace both front wheel speed sensors but I'm not finding where it is and/or where to buy it and/or guide for a how-to for replacing it? Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!

on each hub behind the brake rotor dust shield, you will find a wire that leads directly to the sensor secured by 12 or 14mm bolt through a metal tab. Wiggling the metal tab should break the rust free to pull out the sensor. Clean the hole with brake cleaner and a brush to remove excess rust in preparation for the new sensor. Follow the wire up to the securing bracket on the body and further up will be the plug. You can buy new sensors at your dealership or order through any autoparts store and online. I bought mine through NAPA.

There are four (4) abs sensors. How did you determine that it was the front abs sensors that needed replacement?

NAPA was just convenient for me and i was impatient to wait for an online order. Rockauto.com has them and usually they have very competitive pricing with OEM or other auto parts stores. Refer them as "ABS Wheel Speed Sensors"

Thank you fastnoypi for the lead to Rockauto! I found them and have placed them in my cart. I have one more question that you might be able to help me with. Do you know what the difference is between the Economy and Standard Replacement sections? I have selected the Economy but I want the best part so it lasts the longest. I plan on keeping this vehicle for years!
