Fitz’ 2016 Sprinter 4x4 RB 150S Build

Bear,

Your question made me realize I didn't include a picture of the bung that is part of the kit and that is intended to be installed on both sides. Here is an underside look at the passenger's side bracket with the bung shown just forward of the upper shock mount bolt.



The purpose of the bung is to provide support on both sides of the new bracket. By omitting the bung on the driver's side and utilizing the existing bracket bolt there is only support provided on the inboard side, but sufficient support in my opinion along with the two new bolts on the forward end of the bracket (the second bolt is mostly obscured by the hose in the picture). If you go to the Van Compass website and pull up the instructions for the Baja Bracket all should become clear.

I have only known of one person who has had trouble with a speed sensor, but it was an issue that was hard to diagnose and adversely affected the way the van ran. With that said, when I saw these simple guards on Agile's website I decided to try them out.

Here is a picture of the front wheel speed sensor. You be the judge of how exposed it is:



The guard couldn't be much simpler to install. All that is required is to remove a bolt and install a new one with a bit of Loctite Blue on it.



Simple, and hopefully effective. Time will tell.

I wish AO would develop one for the Transit. The sensors are similar and not infrequently throw DTCs regarding the ABS and TCS systems. The current fix by Ford is to clean the sensors with a “shop rag” and see if the problem codes go away.

My codes did resolve but they have returned now 2 months later.
