Recently i had a hub go bad on my 99 ford ranger and instead of getting the ABS hub i bought the regular one with no abs sensor an accident. So i installed the new hub and realized there was no plug for the wire plug thing (abs plug?) and so its just hanging. So im driving and i realized i have no abs. Anyway to fix this without having to buy a new hub assembly. And if not do i really need abs? Any input is much appreciated.

No way to put abs on a non abs hub. i disconnected my abs after getting a bad tone ring on some napa rotors, im glad because abs sucks, lol.

no, having ABS isn't critical. its just there to prevent you from skidding out of control when you slam on the brakes. i love it in the snow otherwise mine never activates

well if you are driving on ice i recommend fixing the ABS. it prevents spinouts and are a life saver when going down hills
