Hi guys , CV Axle on my Mazda 3 started leaking grease. Trying to buy a new one online but literally all the CV Axles I found online did not have an ABS ring attached except 1.
Does the 2010 Mazda 3 have a built in reluctor ring on the CV Axle or does the ABS sensor use the wheel bearing instead?

If noone can tell you for sure, you might be able to see the ABS ring on the axle next to the knuckle/spindle if it has one.

I worked as a mechanic for just a couple of years back in 2000-2002. So I'm way out of date and this may not be true anymore, but it used to be a CV axle with an ABS ring would fit a car without ABS. This used to be true on just about any car.
