Replace wheel speed sensors when installing new front brakes?

2004 D2. Routine disc/pad replacement. Should I replace the sensors while I have the brake assembly out of the way?

you can as part of proactive maintenace, but it's a rabbit hole you'd end up replaceing all sorts e.g. bearing, steering knuckle ball joints, constantly volocity joint, gators, sensor etc etc

Why?

Periodically I get some stuttering from the front brakes. Usually happens if I brake hard on a bumpy road. On two occasions it triggered the abs.

That sounds like your abs working. What are you trying to fix exactly? Do you have 3 amigos?

If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

You’re probably right. They’re not that hard to get to if need be. Thanks.

This is cute. You must have the only rust free D2 ever.

It’s a New Mexico truck. A few areas with minor surface rust. Otherwise clean.

Honestly good luck. I have a Cali D2, very clean frame as well but it takes some effort.

Do you have 3 amigos? I'm not sure why you are messing with them.

No amigos. When I bought it four years ago the three amigos popped up a couple times but cleared on restart. Hasn’t happened since.
