RE: ABS Help
i'm assuming the abs light is on correct?
if you can, get it scanned to see if theres codes for a particular wheel to narrow your search.
i've seen plenty of hub/wss replaced, front and back, if you have any wheel bearing noise i'd get that fixed first anyways, as it might fix both problems, also you can use a multimeter to check for a sensor that is either open or shorted. there is an ohm range the sensor should be in, but i'm not sure what it is off hand.
check as much of the wiring near all the wheels for any visible damage. wiring to the fronts can have issue from flexing, this damage cannot be seen, but you can use a multimeter on the wires while moving them around to see if theres an open.

RE: ABS Help
I was about ready to say the samething,
It seems to me that the ABS system is working fine,
I noticed in my 03 Monte ss the only time that I felt the pedal vibrate
was when I was on ice and the wheels stopped turning, other then that
the pedal felt like a normal car would.
I would say take it out on the road and hit the brakes hard when no one else is around
and see if the brakes lock up. If they dont then the system is working like it should
