Yes. You didn't say what year, but the ABS/PSM systems in these cars use wheel speed sensor shutter wheels that are in the bearings, which means the bearings has two different "sides". Install the wrong side facing the pickup sensor, and the car will have a non stop ABS fault MIL light because it cannot see the wheel turning. And then the only way to fix it is to replace the bearings, again.
