My first guess is that a sensor ring on a hub may be at fault. I have seen this fault when a sensor ring cracks so the gaps are uneven this sends an uneven pulse signal to the abs ecu. I would also check that there isn't a loose sensor and there is no dirt or foreign objects on the sensor rings between the sensor.

these are just a couple of things that I have come accross. But it may well be something else. What foult codes were in the ABS?
