So ABS? if so probably front wheel sensor wire is binding. Would have a scan done before replacing parts.

Not the sensor wire....nothing had been changes to have put a kink in it. Thinking maybe the tone ring. But not sure if it comes along with a new half shaft. If so, might be just as cheap to replace the half shaft. ANY ideas on that?
