ABS kicks in during sharpright turns

I have a 1998 F-150 2wd w/ four wheel ABS. The problem that I'm having is that the ABS will kick in if I'm on the brakes during a tight right turn...like into the driveway for example. I just put on new front rotors and pads, along with one clogged left side brake line. The sensors look to be in good mechanical condition with no excess buildup of dirt around them. The brakes seem to be working fine except for this one problem. Straight roads and left turns are no problem...just the tight right turns. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Jeff

maybe your right brake hose is clogged too. bad hub bearing could cause this too.

I'm pretty sure the other hose is good, but I can see where the hub bearing could cause a problem allowing the sensor ring to move away from the sensor. Thanks for the input.

My truck a 98 f150 2wd with 4 wheel abs just developed the exact same problem. I took it to the dealer this morning, mechanic showed me where the hoses for the caliper was twisted. He correctly mounted the calipers, that I had mounted over 40k miles ago, charged me the minimum and sent me on my way. His cure didn't fix the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated....
