Default Over active ESP

Recently the addition of my JKS quicker disconnects and re-connection of my rear sway-bar have increased the ESP response. I am not sure if it is the disconnects causing it, but it appeared around the same time of the install. I have checked to see if sway bars are in the correct position and equal. Tires are inflated so no cause there. I checked the lower control arms and they are good still @ 23" and tight. Axles are centered all tight and adjusted. If anyone else has experience identifying causes for the stupid ESP please help a brother out..

Is your steering wheel centered?

If you can adjust them, tighten them up a bit. If they are loser then stock the esp will go off a lot quick due to the front rolling to a side easier

I've been thinking the same. The bushings sides are flexible and there is very little support outside of the housing.

Yes steering wheel is straight. Everything is torqued to 125 lbs/ft. No concerns there. Dropped lower control arms tonight they looked good. Did a visual on uppers look good. Tire pressure is at 32f and 30r.

I'm starting to think its the links.

Default just an idea

Take a look at your ball joints and see if have any excessive play. I also have seen quck disconnects allow enought slop to throw things our of wack.

A little play, but not enough in my opinion to impact anything. I am ready to replace them but I dont feel at this time its ready. I double checked them last night after you posted. While there I did check the connects, it appears that they move on the pins significantly. I may be reaching out to Northridge just to pick their brains and JKS. All is still pointing to the connects. Even though there should be minimal side load on them.
