Default ABS Coming on When Tapping Brakes

My car is at the Nissan dealership because the ABS is turning on when the brakes are lightly applied. Below are a list of things worked on earlier in the month that could have caused the problem:

Replace LT RR Lower Control Arm
Replace LT FT Lower Control Arm
Replace LT Knuckle
Replace LT Strut
Replace LT Outer Tie Rod

After that was done the speed sensor and wheel bearing were replaced but the problem is still happening. Any ideas guys? The Nissan dealership is stumped and they are starting to just check everything but haven't had any luck so far.

Now they are trying to replace the ABS system for about $1,400 without labor. They think that when the speed sensor went out that it could have short-circuited the ABS system.

After a serious curb impact few cars are ever the same and the rebuilding may go on and on why never release the insurance company without expert tests of every system.

You could end up 2 years from now with failures caused by weakening in the impact.

The Nissan dealership has it and they are trying out different things to figure out what the problem is. So far they have replaced a speed sensor and now they are replacing the ABS unit. If the ABS unit doesn't fix it then I have no idea what they will try next.
