    Just as you are about to come to a stip they will stutter. Feels like left front. Just replaced hubs a few months ago. Connectors seem fine and occassionaly the abs and trac lights will come on. Any ideas?

    Broken wire would set a code and the ABS light would stay on. Its not happening all the time so it is getting some signal so the wires are probably fine. You may have to hook up a scaner and watch the ABS signal to see what wheel speed sensor is reading 0 at low speeds. Worst case I think you can hook an ohm meter up and tell from there.
