Default Traction/ABS problem

Newbie here, i need some help. I changed strut, bushing, control arm this weekend because of alignment problem. after i was done i drove for like a mile til i came to stop sign. When i press pedal to stop, i get a kick back push and the car stop(i assume is ABS). Then when i give it some gas, trac light blink and the car would not move for like 2 seconds. After the car move ABS light will come on for sometime and goes off. What can i do to solve this problem? i didnt have this problem before change suspension components.

Let us know what year your LS is... It sounds like you may have disrupted one of the anti-lock brake / speed sensors that bolt into the rear of the front hubs... I'd start by checking those out.

+1 that sounds more likely.

Okay, so i went back and check, i think i pull the sensor cable of driver side too tight. i passed the cable over the top instead of under the knuckle. My question is how can i eliminate the problem? if i have to get a new sensor, does it come with the long cable (coz i dont see anywhere to detach sensor and cable)?

The sensor & cable is a one piece long cable on the earlier cars. I think it's the same on the 99 LS.
