Ranger Raptor Trailing Arm Sensor Guards — S&B Filters (2022+)
Protect the Sensors That Keep Your Raptor’s Suspension Working
Ranger Raptor trailing arm sensor guards are one of those upgrades that every off-road Raptor owner should fit and most forget about — until it’s too late. The 2022+ Next-Gen Ford Ranger Raptor uses trailing arm position sensors as part of its advanced electronic suspension system. These sensors sit exposed on the trailing arms, directly in the firing line of rocks, stones, mud, and trail debris. A single strike can crack or destroy them, triggering suspension faults and potentially disabling your terrain management system entirely.
These S&B Filters trailing arm sensor guards are precision-engineered to shield those sensors from exactly that kind of damage. Built from high-strength materials and designed specifically for the Next-Gen Raptor, they bolt straight on in under 10 minutes with no modifications required — a simple, inexpensive upgrade that could save you a very expensive dealer repair bill.
Why Trailing Arm Sensor Protection Matters
The Next-Gen Ranger Raptor’s suspension system relies on trailing arm position sensors to continuously monitor suspension travel and adjust damping in real time. This is what makes the Raptor’s off-road performance so capable — but it also means these sensors are safety-critical electronic components. Unlike older mechanical suspension setups, damage to these sensors doesn’t just cause a rattle or a handling quirk. It throws fault codes, disables adaptive suspension modes, and in some cases prevents the vehicle from operating normally until you replace the sensor at considerable cost.
For any Raptor that sees gravel roads, green lanes, green laning, or serious off-road use, protecting these sensors is simply good sense.
Key Features
- Purpose-Built Protection: Designed specifically for the 2022+ Ford Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6, these guards wrap around the trailing arm sensors to deflect rocks, stones, mud, and trail debris before they can cause damage.
- High-Strength Construction: Built from durable, impact-resistant materials engineered to handle repeated strikes without cracking, deforming, or corroding — even in harsh off-road conditions.
- Trail-Tested Design: Maintains full sensor accuracy and functionality by keeping debris clear of the sensor body, ensuring your Raptor’s suspension system continues to perform as designed.
- 10-Minute Bolt-On Installation: No cutting, drilling, or modifications required. Fits directly to the factory trailing arm mounting points using the existing hardware.
- Direct OEM Fit: Engineered specifically for the Next-Gen Raptor — no universal brackets, no adapters, no guesswork.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are trailing arm sensors and why do they need protecting?
The trailing arm position sensors on the 2022+ Ranger Raptor are part of the vehicle’s electronic suspension control system. They monitor the position and travel of the rear suspension in real time, feeding data to the Raptor’s terrain management and adaptive damping systems. They sit in an exposed location on the trailing arms where they are vulnerable to stone strikes, mud, and debris during off-road use. Damage to these sensors can result in suspension fault codes, loss of adaptive damping functionality, and costly dealer repairs.
Will these fit my 2022+ Next-Gen Ranger Raptor?
Yes. These guards are designed specifically for the 2022 and newer Next-Gen Ford Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6. They are a direct bolt-on fit using the existing trailing arm mounting points.
How difficult are these to install?
Very straightforward. Installation takes approximately 10 minutes and requires only basic hand tools. No cutting, drilling, or modifications to the vehicle are needed.
Do I need these if I only use my Raptor on the road?
If your Raptor never leaves tarmac, the risk is lower — but gravel roads, car parks, and even road debris can still send stones into vulnerable underbody components. For any Raptor that sees gravel, dirt tracks, or off-road use, these guards are a worthwhile investment at £109.99 compared to the cost of a trailing arm sensor replacement.
Will fitting these affect my Ford warranty?
These guards are a non-invasive bolt-on accessory that does not modify or alter any vehicle components. They simply add protection to existing parts. This makes them very unlikely to affect your manufacturer’s warranty. As always, if warranty retention is a concern, we recommend checking with your Ford dealer.
Do these affect suspension travel or performance?
No. The guards are designed to protect the sensors without interfering with suspension movement, sensor accuracy, or any aspect of the Raptor’s suspension performance. Your terrain management system and adaptive damping will continue to function exactly as standard.
Are these sold as a pair?
Yes. The kit includes guards for both trailing arms, covering the sensors on both sides of the rear axle.
