Default ABS While Turning, Please Help!

Hi everyone,

My issue today is that whenever I am making a turn at over 25 mph (for example: on a curved interstate onramp) my ABS kicks on and forces my jeep to slow down. Is this normal? I am not going fast enough to roll it, at least I don't think so.

Not sure if mods affect this, but all I have are the Teraflex Monster Trackbar and 33"tires. My Jeep is a 2007 2dr X.

Thanks for any and all help!

This is an issue a lot of us deal with. Once you change the geometry of the suspension and steering, the ABS will fire in turns that are completely safe. There is a way to shut it off compeltely but I have yet to try that. I just deal with it and have learned to drive without firing it on the ramps I use the most.

Hmm. Well I try to go <25mph on ramps but I usually end up pissing everyone off behind me. Is this something a dealership would notice if and when I were to sell the Jeep, that would affect the resale value?

When driving straight down the road is your steering wheel centered or off to one side or the other?

there are two methods to get rid of that.... steering wheel dance OR cut a wire and install a switch.

check to make sure your steering wheel is centered FIRST. if it's not, recenter it and try the turns again.

My steering wheel is slightly off center, to the right just a hair.

Re-center your steering wheel and you'll be good. Look here at the last step:
