Hey all, over the past year I've seen my girlfriend's 2002 2.2l alero
go through two front wheel hub assemblies, neither of which I think
were completely bad. I know that the parts cannot be replaced
individually, however i'm convinced that the sensor is the only bad
part. I've heard rumors of the wires to the sensor getting torn, is
there anyway i can just replace the wires without having to shell out
big money to replace the THIRD hub assembly in a year? This is
absolutely ridiculous, at least GM can be assured of a steady supply
of income from the wheel hub assemblies in all their alero's,
cutlass's, grand am's and malibu's for the next several years if
nothing else, from what I hear this is quite a common problem with
this platform.

It's a very common problem. Many people just ignore the ABS issue
associated with the wires breaking. Often you and solder the broken wires,
insulate them well, and be on your way. Sometimes the wires break inside
the seal and you're out of luck, but if they break where you can gain a
purchase, you can easily solder them together.

If you can see where they are broken I would definitely solder them back
together. Get yourself some shrink tubing first and put over the wire solder
it back together and slide the shrink tubing over it and shrink it down.
This should seal out the water. I did this on my daughter's car where the
speed sensor wires were broken and it seems to have worked out fine.

Put a little dab of dielectric grease between the soldered splice and
the heat shrink to keep moisture out.
