Crab Drive Problems

We are doing a crab drive (the wheels swivel). We need to measure the angle that the wheel is at, so we thought we would use a shaft encoder or an unlimited turn potentiometer (non-contact). We can't find any cheap absolute optical encoders, and we can't find any unlimited turn potentiometers (that are still manufactured). Any recommendations?
Thanks

Now that I am a mentor, it isn't my fault. Probably.
