Sounds similar to a problem I had - ABS cycling at low speeds on good surfaces but only when manouvering. Turned out to be the front ABS sensors.

After both sensors were replaced (the sensors were $216(USD)+Tax didn't pay for fitting as I had been so many times about the same problem!!) got 2 miles up the road and the problem was back.

Back to the shop which claimed that one of the NEW sensors was faulty. Picked the car up and the mechanic came along on a test drive - half a mile down the road the problem was back. Red faces all round! I took the Ex home. Strange but true the problem happened only that once and never happened again! No further work was done on the car.

I was convinced that my ABS problem only started after I'd had the front discs and pads renewed. So it's very possible that the ABS set up was just poorly replaced and/or connected up! Also steering pulled to one side so I suspected only one of the senors was ever at fault

Did the hubs come with new sensors?? You've got some type of air gap problem in the left front. That or a problem with the tone ring in the new hub.

When putting those sensors in you really need to clean the hub surface.If the sensor sits even a little ****ed,it will make the ABS cycle.I myself had a problem with a customer Explorer like that.I put the new sensors in,and the ABS would kick on,so i took them back out cleaned the hubs perfectly and it still kicked on...lol.It was the left side so i took that one out again,recleaned the surface,and made sure i turned the sensor back and forth as i was putting it in to make sure it went all the way down.The truck was perfect after that.

Good advice, that's good to know. Installation is very important.

Do bleed the brakes in any ABS vehicle, when any brake work is done. The ABS pump is very sensitive to contaminants. You don't want dirty fluid to ruin the pump, so always bleed in some new brake fluid. Good luck,
