Technically, the donor ABS system needs to come from a vehicle with the same track and wheelbase.

The recipient vehicle needs to run the same rolling diameter tyres on all four corners, unless some smart aftermarket programming can be employed.

A little story:

Customers car a few years ago.
ABS warning light on, logging codes for rear wheel speed sensors, all next steps were separate jobs, new rear wheel speed sensors, run new shielded harnesses to rear wheels from ABS module away from other wiring, replace ABS module.

Eventually we worked out the fault did not occur until full lock applied while performing a U-turn.

Ends up being programming parameters too stringent for the different wheel speeds while turning. All vehicles of that model then receive a recall notice for ABS module programming update.
