I just recently had to replace the wheel bearing; assembly, ball joint, and the sway link bar. Now the ABS light is on. What might be the problem?

Hello thanks for using 2CarPros. My guess is one of the wheel sensors for the ABS was either left unplugged. If you take a look at all 4 of them at each wheel you'll probably find the issue. One other issue I have seen is a wheel bearing installed that didn't have an ABS sensor. Each bearing should have wires coming out of it for the ABS sensor.
