[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1445112, member: 19880"] As I said, the numbers are different but that does not necessarily mean the parts are different. Anecdotally, it seems that the '06 and '07 hydraulic units are more reliable but I haven't done a survey and haven't done (or heard of anyone doing) a side-by-side comparison. Without evidence of compatibility, I wouldn't attempt to swap in an '06 unit to an'05. Certainly, I had no issues with my '07 rear ABS in the 9 years and 185,000 miles I owned it. I agree with you - if I had an '05 ABS that didn't work for the rear wheel, I would not worry about it (brake with care). If I had a functioning ABS on an '05, I would do what I could to keep it that way. Flush fluid annually and make sure the ABS function is "exercised" from time-to-time either on the road or via the jumper/diag function. If the front ABS quit, I would replace the unit. [/QUOTE]
