Hi everyone. I have been driving my Frontier for years now without the ABS working and finally decided to replace the actuator to try and get them working again, now that I am carting around a newborn! I followed the diagnostic steps in my manual and narrowed it down to a bad valve in the ABS actuator. The trouble is I can not find the proper part anywhere. The dealership is showing me an actuator that looks different that the one that is actually on the truck when they look it up to order it. I have searched through hundreds of google images and have not seen any that look anything like mine. As far as I know the part on my truck is original. So I am stumped. The only place I have seen a picture of this same part is in my Chiltons manual. I will post a picture of what I am seeing below. Any clues as to why this is so hard to find, or how I can replace it, would be greatly appreciated. -Devin

The vehicle is a 2001 Frontier, 2wd, 4cyl,

The actuator is mounted on the right rear frame.
