Do you have a picture of where you're talking about? It 'almost' sounds like you're speaking around the steering stop but that wouldn't cause the light to come on.

The sway bar helps keep the body level with the frame. Offroad, people like to disconnect them to let the axle droop a lot further. Onroad with them disconnected, you would notice more body roll in turns. (when you turn right, the body wants to roll to the left more than normal).

It was mentioned way back in post #5. Open your owners manual and read the section on ESP
Disabling ESP for Modified Vehicles (4WD Models Only)
Vehicles modified with larger tires and/or suspension lifts may experience early ESP activations as compared to
a non-modified production vehicle depending on lift size, tire size, suspension changes and/or driving habits.
If early ESP activations are experienced while driving a modified vehicle ... etc, etc

Ok afyer getting a 3/8 bolt for the right swar bar link. And tightening up the bolts on tje front end and cam bolt was tight anyway .. just took the jeep for a drive no traction control light or jeep grabbing in turns like it ginna jick your rear end anymore. . I guess the missing bolt caused the body to role and caused the traction control to kick .. hiwever issue is resolved now. Wanted to say thanks for eveeyone who assisted me in this matter.
