JK 1 Ton Sterling 52 Tooth Tone Ring for Jeep Wrangler
This 52-tooth tone ring is the reluctor that lets a Jeep Wrangler JK's ABS read wheel speed off a swapped Ford Sterling rear axle. If your sensor mounting is already handled and you just need the target for the sensor to read, this is the single piece — a CNC machined, zinc plated steel ring sized for the Sterling hub that gives the factory sensor a 52-tooth signal the computer recognizes. With the right ring in place, the ABS, traction control, and stability systems all read correctly instead of throwing codes after a 1-ton swap. Sold individually for builders who don't need the full kit.
Features
- 52-tooth reluctor ring for a Ford Sterling rear axle under a JK
- Gives the factory wheel-speed sensor the tooth count the computer expects
- Keeps ABS, traction control, and stability control functional after the swap
- CNC machined steel, engineered from 3D scan files
- Zinc plated for corrosion resistance and consistent sensor feedback
- Sold individually — no forced kit purchase if you only need the ring
- Made in the USA
Confirm your JK uses a 52-tooth ABS ring by counting the teeth on the original front tone ring, and plan on having a groove machined into the Sterling hubs so the ring can seat — that is the one machine-shop step in the job. Need the sensor bracket too? Grab the Sterling ABS mounting plates or step up to the complete 52-tooth Sterling ABS kit. Sixty-tooth Jeeps should use the 60-tooth Sterling tone ring instead.
JK 1 Ton Sterling 52 Tooth Tone Ring for Jeep Wrangler FAQs
Is the ABS sensor mount included with this ring?
No — this listing is the tone ring only, sold individually for builders who already have the sensor bracket sorted. If you need both pieces, the complete JK Sterling ABS kit bundles the ring with the sensor mount, and Artec's Sterling ABS mounting plates are also sold separately.
How does the ring attach to the axle?
It seats on the Sterling hub, and the hubs need a groove machined into them for the ring to fit — a straightforward job for a machine shop but one to plan ahead for. Once the hubs are cut, the ring installs and the factory JK sensor reads it like stock.
What happens if I run the wrong tooth count?
The computer calculates wheel speed from tooth pulses, so a mismatched ring makes every wheel-speed-based system read wrong — expect ABS and traction-control faults or erratic behavior. Count the teeth on your JK's original front tone ring; if it is 60 rather than 52, order the 60-tooth version of this ring.
