Our ABS is not a traction control system. It is a braking system,  
active only when braking. You speculate that there is compliance in  
the wheel bearing allowing significant changes in ABS sensor gap. I  
disagree. Even a very noisy wheel bearing will allow very little  
axial deflection of the axle.
