Default ESP problems

So a few months ago my Jeep starting having ESP problems when making right turns at around 30mph. The brakes try to slow down a certain wheel (can't tell which one) and the ESP light flashes. I have no dummy lights on in the dash normally, and my steering wheel is very, very straight, been adjusted many times. This seemed to start when I added wheel spacers and different rims (no change in other suspension and same tires).

If I purchase an ABS scanner, would it tell me anything since there is not an ESP light on normally? Or should I just buy all new wheel speed sensors and start there?

I know you can turn off the ESP completely, but I would rather not do this since it has been useful to me in the past.

What is your caster set to? I had the same issues until I got my caster over 5 degrees.

It was between 4.5-5 degrees. I set it to 6, I'll see if that makes it any better.
