    This topic is most likely already posted. If so, please redirect me.

    I have Code C0210 indicating failure of the right rear wheel speed sensor. The bearing is fine, so I don't really need to replace the whole wheel bearing & hub assembly... just the wheel speed sensor. I can't seem to source the sensor only for the 2010-2015 gen vehicle, but I can for the prior gen on PartsGeek and Amazon, and it seems like the same part, Will this part fit on my 2010 model?

    Thanks!

    You have to replace the whole hub

    This is the part number for my Prius v

    Thanks. OEM & Timkin are a bit over my budget. Do you know anything about the quality of Detroit Axle parts?

    Lots of the aftermarket hubs only last a couple of years.

    Its a gamble.

    Agree with RJParker. You gets what you pays for, at least in this instance.......

    They are junk.
    Moog worked good for me. Just make sure you get the ones made in AMERICA.
    Other country ones are junk. They was an article I read a few years ago I wished I had saved
    that did quality tests from the different country they are made in and the USA ones were much
    better quality.
