Sounds like a bearing harness, inspect the front two as they are usually the culprits.

Have a shop scan the ABS computer and find what code it has.

Also, one thing many have learned with the wheel hubs, if you used the cheapest part you can get, they have a tendency to go bad not far past warranty. Most people (myself included) will recommend a Timken bearing hub assembly.

There is a chance this could boil down to a faulty wire somewhere. Begin with getting the ABS code.
