Default How can you tell the difference between abs and non abs axles

I just got my new set of stage 2 axles good for 425HP but the abs box wasn;t checked and I forgot what it is that distiguishes the difference betwen the two, abs and non-abs axles. Can someone show me or link me to something. pics maybe. please let me know.

there's a bumpy aluminum metal strip around the outter cup of the axle; the part of the axles that plugs into the wheel hub. That metal strip is read by the ABS sensor that lives on the innerside of the knuckle/hub assembly...

No metal strip = non-abs axles

a bumpy aluminum metal strip around the outer cup of the axle. that narrows it down to the spline, a c ring and a whole other bunch of bumpy parts. got a pic at all??

It is easy to tell. Just look at the end that goes into the hub and if you see a whiteish strip going around the entire joint with bumps on it, then it is an ABS axle. I don't have a pic, but it is very easy to tell.
