Questions after shock replacement...

My understanding is that the heart equals popular items. I ended up going rogue though, I bought something that wasn’t a heart, but was in the middle of the price range. It is a Beck Arnley part. If you are not buying a factory part, I am not sure if it really makes it difference in the price of as long as it can read the speed. My main reason for saying this is that the sensor doesn’t seem to wanna fit flat into the bore but the original one still can. I bought one from Amazon a couple of years ago when I thought I had issue. That one also fit the same way. The one I got is working, but my concern is if water will get into the hub if it’s not quite sitting flush.

 

I think you made the right choice. I bought one from RockAuto for $50 ish but I am not sure if it makes a real difference when it comes to a speed sensor. It either reads the speed or it doesn’t.

 

Mine was also a very tight fit but probably due to corrosion. I had to use a wire drill brush to clean it up a bit to get the sensor to slide in. You could always use a dab of RTV or something if you're worried. Might make it tougher coming out if there's a next time though

 

Anyone know what the size is of the nut on the shock body of the rear 4600s? I need to tighten down top mount bushing and the shock body keeps spinning. A crescent wrench will not fit and I only have metric wrenches up to 22mm. Is this a 23mm or 24mm? I assume it is not an SAE size. Thanks.
