Bent Rear Spindle causing ABS fluctuation

Bent Rear Spindle causing ABS fluctuation
Had a unintended bout of "drifting" on a wet road causing me to impact a curb hitting hard on the drivers side rear.
Went to check on what I had bent & what could be aligned & great improvements were made though I am still 1.4" out on the Camber Toe on on the rear drivers side.
The techs best guess was that I had bent the spindle. If anyone knows where to source on I am all ears but on with the mystery.
Now here is the odd part, every time I brake to a complete stop you hear & feel the ABS system kick on just before a complete stop is reached. All is normal until sub 2 mph.
94LS now needs some TLC!

SKperformance,
I appreciate the diagnostic help & have a question or two.
Can the bearing be bent & the spindle still be ok or are they both likely bent??
I would think a bent will bearing would not go very far before failure?
I have done a front wheel bearing replacement before, never a rear.

The only way to tell is for the tech to look at it. I am surprised the guy doing the alignment could not tell you what was wrong. Not sure if i would go back to them.
I replaced my rear hub and bearing and it was not cheap or easy.

I actually think this guy was pretty sharp.
I told him that I needed to be roadworthy asap.
He understood that I did not wish to leave my vehicle.
He used the term spindle but what I am understanding from you is that bearing/hub assembly is what he is referring to.
I am hoping that Timken #511007
Rear Wheel & Inner bearing assembly will do the trick.

If he was sharp he would know for sure , it only takes a few seconds to move some parts to tell what is causing the problem. A tech who works a rack should know immediately where the bend is and be able to fix it or what needs to be replaced.

Hard to believe that of all that stamped metal the part that got damaged is the beefiest metal knuckle.
Pretty sure that the hub assembly & bearing are shot.
The knuckle part #42305-50010 is described as a carrier (Toyota parlance) & cost $180.00
