ABS'ness

MSW 7x15 ET 40 rear 205/55-15 SP Sport W10s (summer)

Symptom:
ABS activates _right_ before you come to a complete stop ~2mph or so.
Switch it off on the dash and it is turned off. So this switch works as
does the ABS. It only happens right before a complete stop at very slow
speeds. If the ABS is on at anything above 8mph systems works fine.

Both my front outer CV joints were rebooted lately and I wonder if the
ABS sensors were bumped or missalinged? Could some of the Bentley manual
abusers out there look up what the "air gap" distance is for setting the
ABS sensors in the struts? Any other item to check, bad sensor? It
drives my wife nuts. TIA.
