Default Thunk of the abs unit

So I am wondering exactly what is wrong here...When I first bought the D I dont remember it having this problem. Then I took it back to the shop I bought it from to have them fix a few things and it started doing it after that.

So here is the problem. When I put the key into the ignition and turn it just before the start position( like im about to crank it), the abs unit makes a thunk sound and you can actually see it vibrate from the noise.
Now my abs works at all four wheels, and it has been making the same sound since Nov of this last year...Here is my question.

Is this bad? I know you can get the system flushed in...did they not do the brake fluid right or something? Any input on this...BTW I have no lights on in the dash.

If the ABS underhood is moving, it isn't supposed to.

Start with checking the connections and mountings.

Also it might need to be rebuilt. It is called the ABS CAB, and there are companies that will rebuild yours ans send it back to you with a warranty. Search under my name and you will find the company information in the Durango 1st Gen Section.
