Wheel Sensor Stem hits Brake Line... what to do???
 
1 Attachment(s)
Put my new wheels on and didn't get 2 blocks before I started hearing tic tic tic tic...

The rubber valve stems on the rear wheel sensors are hitting the emergecy brake line. I took the wheels off and tried to adjust push the line in a bit, but there is not much you can move.

Does someone know of a good fix for this?

Thanks in advance...

I took my caps off the stems and they don't hit anymore

I only saw one place to zip tie them too and it's the ABS line... not real good. :iono:

I even pushed the line in through the gromet where it's attached to the frame and put a zip tie on one end in an attempt to keep it from sliding back toward the wheel. No help.

That would work... hate to buy new sensors but might be my only option. I will be checking w/ Tony since I got the wheels from him anyway.

I have a set of aqdapters that I will sell you for $50 as this is the best option for using the tpms. These are specific for tpms in these isssues. They normally cost $75 but I am not using tpms and will try to help you save some money.

I had Discount Tire order my Forgiato's and they put in new sensors and I didn't even reset the car automatically sensed them.

I ordered my wheels and TPMS from nineball. I was also concerned about the rear wheels rubbing the brake lines. I'm putting 315s on the back. PQ did as well. He said if you zip tie that brake line it prevents the rubbing. Nineball (Tony) said it would be a non issue. You might want to contact him to see if the TPMS he sells will help you out.

you can firmly push the park brake cable through the holder and then use a small hose clamp around it to keep it from sliding back through the holder, you only need to push it back an inch to inch and a half, problem solved.
