You need to have the front brakes inspected to find out why its clunking-Was the clunking there prior to the sensor change?

I sounds like you have a strut or ball joint that needs inspection/replacement.

There must be a problem with the reluctor on one of the wheels, and the sensor is not picking it up, the ABS keeps activating because it thinks a wheel is stopped while the others are rolling. Did you have the brakes done? did this start after the sensor?

So, the noise you hear/feel, is it on the brake pedal, like the ABS is activating?

Okay, sorry for the 100 questions, sometimes its difficult to diagnose problems over the internet, I wish I could just crawl through the computer and help you :-) anyway, You will need to test the voltage output at the wheel sensor, connect the voltage gauge to the sensor while its disconnected, set the meter to ac voltage and spin the wheel, each sensor should have voltage, if they do, the ABS module is bad and needs replacing.

Let me know what you find

Best, Ken
