Default Slight abs pulsation at 7-0 mph..recent control arms and l/f axle...

Hey guys,
Finally got around to replacing my control arms, and threw a new l/f axle at my 97 1.8tqm. Now i get an abs pulsation everytime im slowing down to a stop, whether hard or very soft, below approx. 7 mph. Searched, but only had a loose/improperly installed wheel speed sensor as one answer. Mine seems fine. It is a rebuilt axle, not purchased from Audi ($300 get the f outta here, but isnt bad compared to the BMW's I work on 500+ for a new one)
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Default Sensor reading incorrect number of teeth?

i.e. wrong axle?

Other than that, take out the sensor and clean it.

Probably some metallic flakes got onto the ABS sensor...try cleaning the sensor.

Default I would slide the sensor in a little farther....

I ran into the same issue after I did my control arms. Light would stay on no issues then light go off and ABS would quick on for slow stops.
