I need to replace the Right Front ABS sensor on my 1995 Toyota Avalon. Cleaning the old one didn’t get rid of the “3-1” code. OEM replacements are upwards of $170. Aftermarket ones can be had for less than half of that. Is there that much difference in quality? Thanks ---

If you stick with a good company then you shouldn’t have a problem. Check to see if Wagner makes that part. They make excellent products…and in fact they make many OEM parts for several manufacturers. ---

@tom418 I advise you to stay away from the chinese cheap store brand sensors [Rockauto.com](http://Rockauto.com) has a pretty good selection, as does [partsgeek.com](http://partsgeek.com), I believe And the decent ones cost less than $170
