This is an '05 Aviator. Today my ABS started kicking in under low brake force on dry pavement. It was pretty violent and erratic. Made it difficult to stop. Did it about 3 times and then stopped.
My first thought is a bad wheel speed sensor. This might correlate with another issue I have. Often when stopping at high speed I get significant steering wheel wobble. The front end is all brand new parts and properly aligned, so it's not suspension related. And I've measured the rotors and they are parallel well within spec. Tires are in decent shape and recently balanced.
Wheels don't appear to have any play in them like a bad bearing, but I've been fooled by that before where they feel tight only to find out they are fried.
If not the wheel speed sensor, I'm not sure what it could be other than a bad connection.
I found hubs super cheap on Amazon so I ordered them as insurance until I figure it out. Anyone think this diagnosis is correct?
