Default ABS Sensor

91 Olds Toronado
I have a bad ABS sensor on front drivers side wheel. no one seems to have one, none of the major chains nor RockAuto. Does anybody know what other models might work? I might head down to the junk yard later this week. my sensor has 2 wires.
Thanks

Wow, I haven't even found any data that confirms this part even exists!

Have you tried reaching out to the local gm dealer parts department to see if you can at least get a part number by chance?

If the ABS sensor is integrated into the front hub assembly that would be Part Number: 07470585 or ACDelco 2061 or 20-61.Supersession(*): 20-61; 2061; 07470585; 07466961; 7470585Fits Allante, Eldorado, Reatta, Riviera, Seville, Toronado

many thanks HotZ28 but I don't see it in any of these diagrams. My sensor doesn't go into the hub, It'* mounted into the knuckle and it'* held in with a screw. my FSM says it'* a replaceable part. The rear ones are mounted into the hub and bearing assm. but I just need the front.
I found the part at Wholesale GM Parts Online under brakes but it'* no longer available.
part #22 Sensor, Electronic Brake Control.
thanks for the help.

Interesting... That scared up a part number at least.

Which scared up this info from another source:


This site suggests that it looks like all front wheel drive year ranges of those cars: GM 03521274 Sensor, genuine OEM part

Unobtainium indeed, but hopefully it'* a good part number now at least. Also save a search on ebay. Sometimes they pop on there out of nowhere.

And then I just found this: https://forums.aaca.org/topic/275462...wheel-sensors/
I was selling them for $125.00 each and sold my remaining inventory to Marck at East Coast Reatta to get out of this. The ;eads I had are for the 1988-1990 cars only. The 1991 leads are a one year only and now obsolete part. If I was to look for a 1991 lead [and I did find some] I would be in the $200.00 each range. You have to find a car, ask the yard to test the lead [most won't] then you have to buy what is called the knuckle, pay a higher freight cost to get it delivered, take the time to cut it out of the knuckle, then replace the sensor lead rubber [if needed and after 25 years most are needed].

Way too much work to continue doing this. You should have been looking at the buy/sell for the last year, I was running an ad and had plenty of inventory.
That'*.... terrifying... and I wonder if everyone is in the same boat on that list of vehicles... especially for 1991

Yikes! that'* painful.
I'll have to see what I can come up with.
Not to brag, but the pwr seat motors were bad on my 03 buick park ave and no one made them anymore, I scoured junkyards looking for some and nothing....
every other model gm that yr. and close to that yr. had different type motors in them. the park ave'* had motors with a plastic gear that would strip. after searching under "power seat motors" for anything that even looked close I found one made for a Daewoo on amazon

. I had to do some fabrication but I got them to work perfect. and with a brass gear.
So I'm going to look for any kind of sensor that will fit that hole. who knows if I'll get as lucky this time.
