Sounds like the are some loose things down there. Have a friend hold the brake with the car not running but in neutral. Look at the right front caliper either through the wheel or with your noggin under the car while have the car rocked back and forth to observe and listen. You may be able to pinpoint an issue with a loose or broken caliper or other suspension part. Good luck
 
First off I want to say that I put my truck in a ditch pretty hard last winter, and broke the wheel bearing on passenger front tire. Needless to say, I had to get a broken wheel bearing replaced (and it breaking was the start of the abs light coming on), and it was still on after replacing the bearing.

Now for almost a year I have had an issue with the abs system. When I'm coming to a stop, I get a feeling in the brake pedal like it's depressing towards the floor even more, and the calipers feel like they can't grip on one of the wheels (Which I feel in the pedal also)

And yesterday when accelerating from a stop, my right tire was spinning out and pulling right.

Also, there seems to be a delay in the brakes releasing all the way. Because when I take foot off brake and put it on gas to quick, there is kind of a slam feeling under the car.
