Description

This Wabco Repair Kit (MPN: 4460479232) is designed for the ABS Hydraulic Unit within a vehicle's brake system.

Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically rebuilds the core of your anti – lock braking system. Inside that ABS unit you have valves, seals, and pistons. Those parts work together to control the brake pressure to each wheel individually. The kit will contain new seals, o – rings, and potentially some valve components – everything you need to overhaul the hydraulic side of things. It doesn't usually include the electronic control module inside the unit, just the hydraulic stuff. The ABS unit is vital for, well, preventing your wheels from locking up when you brake. It does this by rapidly pulsing the brakes, allowing you to maintain steering control during hard stops or on slippery surfaces. It's a key part of your overall braking system and works with your brake pedal, master cylinder, and calipers. Think of it as the system that fine – tunes the brake force to each wheel.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this unit starts to fail, you’ll notice if your ABS light comes on. Sometimes you’ll feel a pulsing in the brake pedal even when you’re not braking hard, or your brakes might feel spongy. More seriously, if it fails completely, you could lose ABS function, meaning your wheels can lock up, and you lose steering control. Repairing it with a kit is usually a lot more affordable than replacing the entire ABS unit, and it restores a really important safety feature. You can find these kits pretty easily online, I’ve seen good options over at Fixparts Online, and if you’re comfortable with some mechanical work, it’s something a lot of people can tackle themselves.
