jerking brake problem

i had cts-v brakes on my car took them off and sold them bought new calipers and rotors after the installation the car did fine with brakes. i order a set of welds and mounted them since them being mounted both front wheel sensors are throwing codes and the car jerks to the right when the brake pedal is pressed. i tried re-bleeding the brakes for the jerking but i dont understand why my wheel sensors are throwing codes after mounting welds. anyone else have any problems like this?

are they different sized wheels? (front vs rear) ive heard of the abs not liking that sometimes... or check torque specs of lug nuts? uneven tire wear? are the brake components all new or is a caliper sticking? pads uneven? etc...

If you don't have a caliper hanging up, a bad hub/wheel bearing can trigger the brake jerking you describe via the ABS sensor, I've seen this symptom on a bunch of GM trucks.

The posts about tire size are something to consider also.
