How do these parts get recertification ie how do we know the anti skid brakes still work after using third party wheel speed sensor on just one wheel?

If the third party parts went through the same certification process, they would be more expensive than genuine parts.

It is based on specifications and standards. In this case the original part has some specifications that aftermarket parts can meet.
