explorer sport ABS problem

My sister has an 01 ford explorer sport 4.0L 4x4 with an ABS problem. When applying the brakes to come to a stop, just before the vehicle comes to a stop, the anti lock brakes noticeably come on. They pulsate and it hardly stops the truck. She took it to the ford garage and they said that the front hubs would need replaced to the tune of $600 dollars. I told her that I am a member of this site and I would see if I could get some info for her. Any help is much appreciated.

Anyone got any ideas? Does it sound correct that the whole hubs would need replaced? Maybe just the sensors?

I don't see how the hubs can be at fault for the abs engaging. Never heard of it before but if someone has, I'm sure they'll chime in.

Have you engaged the 4x4 recently? If you have, are the hubs engaging properly?

Sensor problems are usually due to dirt and cleaning usually fixes them.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
