Hello,

The ABS lights come on when the module detects an error in the system. It could be a faulty sensor or a loose connection. It can also be the module.
Best course of action is to scan for the ABS code(s). That can point out what might be the issue.

Here is a helpful video:

The wobble is probably due to a loose or worn suspension component in the back. It is like a bad sway bar link.
Do a thorough inspection of the rear suspension. Look for any loose, worn or damaged components.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.

Keep in mind that another possibly is that the tire(s) coming apart or tread separation.
This can be due to defects, abuse or if it has been over inflated.
