Wheel speed sensor was waiting for me when I got home from my most recent trip. Sure enough the top tabs on the female (chassis end) shattered when I tried to unplug it, but fortunately I was able to work it out without further damage. I have a new plug, but really didn’t want to do that fiddly work. I started the car and voila, trifecta solved.

Now for the bad….ive been trying to troubleshoot a front wheel that refuses to get into ballance so I decided to swap the rear I had off, with a front wheel. After doing so, and dropping the car back down I noticed an unmistakable bushing squeak, mostly on acceleration from zero to maybe 10mph. Presumably, this is as the cars weight shifts after? Anyway, super frustrating, especially since the CSR has new upper and lower control arm bushings, amd a new way bar link. It also happens a bit when the wheel is aggressively turned left and right when stopped.
