What do these wires go to?

Let’s play another round of what do these wires go to. I’m nowhere near my car right now and won’t be for a while but I’m just curious.. the car started getting spark blowout so my tuner threw the car on a lift and sent me these pictures last night. They’re at the front of the car next to the torque tube.

Whatever they are, they were not there when it left the factory.

There aren’t any extra electronics in the car that I know of. What could it even be?

Since they are "twisted"...we call them a "twisted pair" in automotive electrical jargon they are the wheel speed sensor wires !!...dark green/tan is your right front WSS and the yellow/light blue is your left front WSS wires !!...they MUST remain twisted if you are repairing those wires !!...forgot how many twists per foot though !!
