Troubleshooting

Check the ABS sensor connection and ensure it is properly seated. Inspect the sensor for any damage and clean the sensor ring.

Recheck the installation, making sure all components are correctly installed and torqued. If the noise persists, the bearing may be defective, and you should contact customer support.
