An ABS sensor bracket made up of two mounting wing plates engaged to a sensor receiver. The sensor receiver is generally cylindrical and is mounted between the wing plates such that the sensor receiver is asymmetric axially relative to the caliper anchor plate. When viewed from the side, there is a shorter end of the sensor receiver jutting out a shorter distance from the wing plates than an opposite longer end of the sensor receiver. In one embodiment, a first end of the sensor receiver has an outer diameter circumference greater than that of the opposite second end. The caliper anchor plate has an outer edge slot for mounting of the ABS sensor brackets. The outer edge slots are generally 'U' or 'V' shaped. There are mounting holes in the outer radial areas bordering the outer edge slots. The larger diameter circumference of the first end will not allow both of the holes in the wing plates to align with both mounting holes of the outer radial area of the caliper anchor plate at the same time. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the shorter end is the first end that then is the only end of the sensor receiver that will mount facing axially outward from the caliper anchor plate. This of course may be reversed for different ABS wheel sensors, if a different sensor requires its longer end to be outwardly facing to achiever optimum speed sensing of wheel rotation.
