Default Need some help with pr44?

I just installed a pr44 in a bone stock 2 door jk stock suspension and everything. Everything installed fine had no problems at all. I just took it out for a test drive and my steering is really tight when I turn the steering wheel and let go of it it will not center back up it just stays in the turned position untill I turn it back straight? Also when I drive down the road and hit a slight bump or go around a curve in the road my stability light blinks on and off can anyone help me out with these problems?

My guess? Your toe is off and your steering wheel isn't centered.

Which PR44 did you get, the standard version or the Unlimited version with added caster? It sounds to me like you have the Unlimited version. With stock control arms this puts your caster at 8*. Adjustable control arms will help you dial out a little caster.

Do you have a stabilizer on? If so, did you bend it? Sounds like a bent stabilizer to me.

Its the unlimited housing with stock control arms. Thank you for replying to this dynatrac. I just fixed the ESP light problem my steering wheel just needed adj just a little I just took it out and took some bumpy curves at 50 55 mph and no lights at all. Now I just have to fix my steering problem when driving if I turn the steering wheel going around a curve and let go of the wheel it will not recenter and also when driving straight it has some slack in the wheel? I no this is off topic but I put 2 quarts of 75-140 Mobil 1 gear oil in it am I good to go there?

You need adjustable control arms with the unlimited. Read the info on Dynatrac's webpage, it specifically calls this out. For this reason I'm ordering their standard housing.

I have the AEV 3.5" lift with control arm drop brackets. Thus I run the stock geometry.

I've got a rock krawler 3.5 x factor kit but I won't be able to install the drag link flip kit or HD tie rod yet because I haven't purchased the ends for them. Would it help if I installed everything else though?
