Default Steering not Centered

07 JKU with a RK drag link. Replaced the drag link tie rod end and added a Synergy adjustable track bar last week end. Centered the steering wheel via the DL (I thought) and started driving it. I noticed on tight right handed turns (exit ramps) that the ESP would engage. Further investigation found when I turn the steering wheel to the right, I get a 1.25 turns (from straight center) until I get to full lock. When I turn to the left, I get 1.5 turns. My steering wheel is straight, when wheels are straight.

It appears to me that adjusting the DL is not going to help, as I will end up with an out of center steering wheel. Is my only option removing DL, adjust thread on it and reinstall (then re center wheel)?

One solution is the Procal, which will tell the computer where the new center is. But sounds like somehow you got things out of sorts during install. Might want to fix that first and then use the Procal.
