Default Longer ABS sensor cable?

I am looking for a compatible wheel speed sensors that has a longer cable but same sensor on the wheel end and cable connection end as stock.

I have seen them on other rigs but have not been able to get a part number or the vehicle and year they came from. Any help would be appreciated.

What year .. The cables on my new bearings seamed shorter. I pulled the clips from the frame to gain more slack.

I'm pretty sure the post 2012 JKs have a longer front ABS sensor cable to match their longer front brake lines. You can do a part number search on moparpartsamerica.com and compare. The change might have been 2011, not sure.

Are yours still connected to the steel bracket on the lower coil perch? If so, ditch that bracket and you'll gain a lot.

Agree that the cables coming on replacement unit bearings are short.

Lastly, I'll state the obvious. If your cables are not in the bracket and really are too short, just splice some wire in to lengthen them. About as easy as it gets.

Buy the OEM cables for a new JK. It's the aftermarket that are short.

For nearly $20k, you'd think Dynatrac could toss in some speed sensor cables....

Check out aeromotive they make a Jeep Wrangler specific plug & play abs sensor wire extenders... Slick, i believe if i remember correctly they are 12" extra length... Perfect for my application. I started to do the splice and extend, but got into it and decided it was just too much and even with my "perfection" attitude it seamed like a hack job... Liked the extender route and they are water proof...

This is what comes stock on new JKs. My stock cable was notably longer than the one that came on a new front bearing.
