ABS Wheel Speed Sensor

I need to change my left rear sensor. Looking for suggestions on a brand to go with. There seems to be three or so to choose from (other than OEM). Standard, Airtex, both around $120 and Replacement priced at $58. Seems to be a big difference.

thanks

Decided on a Duralast (made in Japan) looked exactly like stock. $120 with 20% off at Autozone. Unfortunately after receiving the part didn't fit. Returned to Autozone and a replacement was ordered. Received replacement and it was the same (didn't fit). Upon examining pictures the passenger side looked correct (I was replacing the Driver's rear). Ordered the passenger rear, received and it fit. Apparently AutoZone/Duralast has it reversed on the site and/or inventory. Plus the passenger side is $20 more for some reason (even though I obviously received the driver's side) so now I have to try and get $20 back from Autozone somehow. Regardless my ABS light is gone.

How did you manage to pull the abs sensor out?

I heard it was really hard

Really hard no, hard - yes. A couple drops of oil on bolt made it easier going back in. The clip holding the plug portion was the hardest to remove.
