O.K something is wrong here , track bar , control arm etc. Steering input with no response + ESC light = something failed.

If the steering wheel is not centered it can cause the ESC to freak out.

Indeed

Or a wallowed out bolt hole. Normally things do not just all of a sudden show their face like this. Alignment is not something that needs "Regular" adjustment. As parts wear and you re align you are just correcting for slop is all. A trip underneath to find loose parts with a helper rocking steering back and fourth will show tell tale signs of worn parts.

Another thing is way UNDER inflated tires , IMPROPERLY seated and torques lug nuts!!!!! By design the JK came with Hub centric wheels , many after market wheels are LUG-centric and need to have a bit more attention paid to them when mounting like seating the "cone" of the nuts before properly torqueing them or allowing the Jeep to put its weight on the wheels before tightening. A wallowed out lug hole can and will leave nuts behind you!

Any update?

Yeah the ride is not that bad anymore. It's a little bit off but the hole mess was due to tires rubbing every since I put the spacers it's been good. It's still a little bit of a challenge. To steer but nothing scary getting it checked out for a alignment and suspension toe in toe out in a couple of weeks didn't know getting 35 12.50 18 was going to be such a challenge. What's next guys gear ratios ? Anything good on improving the ride ?

You'll get a lot better answers if you fill out the profile information about your Jeep. If you share where you live you may also find the answers change a little (especially when discussing tires or lockers).
