Default brake problem on my 03 silverado

I bought my truck about a year ago and havent had any problems out of it until recently... My brakes started making some noise so I just thought I was in need of a brake pad replacement. I had put it off and it gradually started getting worse as to where the ABS was activating when I'd go to stop from time to time... within a week it was almost every time i went to stop the ABS would activate. I changed my brake pads today and I am still having the same problem. And when i take a curve to the right side I can feel some shakiness in the front drivers side. Im thinking this may be the hub assembly but I'm really not sure.... I had the same problem before i changed the brake pads but I just chalked it up to that. And since I've replaced them it obviously isnt that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
