Default Turning Problem? Need Help.

Kay, so here's my jeep. I have a teraflex spacer 2.5" lift, teraflex shocks, stock 18" sahara wheels with 34" BFG A/Ts, 1.5" spidertrax wheel spacers.

Here's the problem. When I am going maybe 20-40 mph and I am on a wide turn, exit ramp or on ramp, it feels like my brake calipers are literally coming off and rubbing against my wheels. It makes a grinding sound and I can feel it in the steering. I thought it might be the wheel spacers coming loose but they all are tight. The tire slip traction light blinks on and off when it happens too, just another symptom. Other than that, she runs great.

Anyone have any ideas?

Did you re-center your steering wheel after installing the lift?

If not, the computer will think it is in a slide and start applying the brakes.

You may want to inspect the brake pads to make sure they are not completely worn down. Also the rear tends to wear faster than the front.
