Did you adjust the draglink to recenter steering wheel?

last night before i adjusted the wheel, when the antilocks were kicking in, i could smell like a burnt smell. i figured that was from the brakes kicking in so often, i fixed the stearing last night and the antilocks do not kick in anymore, but when i got to work this a.m about a 5 mile drive from my house i still smelt that burnt smell, any ideas what that could be?? maybe i got some wd40 on my exhasut, idk... any experiences with a weird smell after lift??

If still using stock rims and tires it might be a tire rubbing. Happened to me. The rear upper control arm was hitting the tire. Stock rims didn't have enough back spacing. .

If you still have the issue when you leave work, then I'd pull the wheels and inspect your assemblies, start with the front axle. It's likely that it's just leftover from yesterday and will diminish completely by the time you get home tonight.
