Tried cleaning the ABS rings up front? Sometimes the sensors struggle to pick them up correctly if they are caked in shit.
Get a multimeter on the plugs for the ABS sensors and either spin a wheel (manually when the car is jacked up) or wave a magnetic screwdriver over the tip of the sensor and check for resistance.

on the rear abs sensors a had to cut the pin down a gd bit in order for the abs sensor to go in as the pin was far too long and hittin against the hub could it be anything to do with that its still pretty close to the hub
