ESP intermittently activates when I turn right
Hey all...
I lifted my 2007 Sahara JK with a Rubicon Express 2" Budget Boost with Monotube Shock.
Ever since then, when I turn right going about 30mph... (turning from one road to another), my ESP activates! Scares the hell out of you at first... because it changes the power, brakes, etc...
I've taken it to the dealer (said there's no problem), taken it to the people who installed it (said there's no problem), and other independent dealers... all say (there's no problem).
BUT... damn thing keeps activating when I turn right (so there is a problem). Only thing I can think of is the turn's momentum (minimal G Force) activates the ESP in thinking possible roll-over.
Has anyone had this experience... and been able to solve it?????
THANKS!!!

I had this problem too but it only did it at this one turn and if you went around it to fast it would activate the ESP. I solved the problem by disabling the ESP with my SuperChips.

Check to see if your steering wheel is centered. It may be off by a little bit. Drive completely straight and stop your Jeep and look at the steering wheel. If it seems a bit off you can adjust it easily to get it right on.
Here is a good how to guide.

Also I would recommend you thoroughly read the FAQ section as it covers a ton of the issues seen after installing a lift etc. Plus you'll learn a ton!

thanks for responding... didn't align front end or change toe-in because I was told that <3" lift didn't require it with the new JK's.
tires are wearing even...
think i'm going to investigate the straight steering wheel issue first.
