Knock Sensor

Back in the days before knock sensors were put on cars, drivers could expect to hear pinging and knocking coming from their engines after filling up their gas tanks with unleaded fuel. The only way to prevent this problem from occurring was for motorists to purchase premium high octane gasoline which usually eliminated engine vibrations quickly. As you might expect, consumers soon tired of paying extra for premium grades of gasoline and eventually knock sensors became standard equipment on all vehicles by the early 1990s. As with any sensor, they eventually do wear out. Your car may still run, but your engine will vibrate which can cause engine damage. Taking your car to the dealership is a pricey proposition as you will pay a premium for the knock sensor plus labor. A better option for you is to do the work yourself. To help you in that area, we sell knock sensors and we sell them at wholesale prices. We purchase OEM knock sensors directly from manufacturers to save you time and money. No need to shop the catalogs and no hoping that you won’t get ripped off. We take the knock out of replacement part prices.
