Default esp light and rubbing sound/feeling on turns

In late June I put a 2.5 inch lift on my 08 Jk. Now I have a rubbing noise in the drivers side when turning right. Figured it could be my Jeep thinking I was going too fast, but it happens randomly. The ESP light only turns on when I'm on the gas pedal while turning. But the rubbing noise still happens when I'm coasting. It just doesn't turn on the light. I don't know what this could be! Thought it could be a wheel bearing. But there is no side to side/ up and down movement on the tires. Help!!!!!

Front air dam rubbing? Did you trim it? Also make sure your steering wheel is centered regarding the ESP.

Never trimmed anything. How do I trim it? I'm still running the stock tires until I can afford rims for my 35s

I'm guessing your steering wheel is just a tad off center and when you go into a turn the EPS starts taking control as though you're in a skid.

Adjust the drag link to recenter your steering wheel and whala! no more noise

I had that problem to, tried to Deactivate the ESP with the Steering wheel dance but could never get it to deactivate. Then one day when I had the tires rotated I had the Jeep wheels aligned and then I never had the problem again. Knock on Wood.
