Just out of curiosity, how fast were you traveling, and what was the recommended (not limit) speed for the turn?

I joke with my wife that those little yellow recommended speed signs are "Jeep speeds"... but seriously though, I would stay at or below those recommended speeds if your Jeep is raised and on bigger tires

Just a thought... your issue may be something else entirely, but this is something that always crossed my mind when I see threads about traction control issues.

Steering wheel position has no bearing on what the computer thinks is centered.

Using a ProCal is the easiest way to see the computers opinion on it, which could easily have your steering wheel 20 or 30 degrees off-center to either side. If you don't have one, it will just be a lot of trial and error. Or, you could always replace whatever is bent.
