I have centered if twice, guess I'll have tondo it some more! Thanks guys! The lift is awesome. The jeep drives straight. It actually drives better than when I just had the leveling kit on, if that makes sense.

Re-centering the steering wheel to get rid of the abs/esp lights is super easy. One wrench, loosen two bolts, twist the turnbuckle until straight.

Go up to the Write-Ups area. At the top is an index. Find the DIY Alignment link. It will show pics and steps for this, as well as setting the toe (and adjusting the caster, for those with some form of adjustability).



Just saw that you had already adjusted the steering wheel, so disregard...

Maybe you tweaked a sensor?

I may have tweaked a sensor. I had some issues on the driver side coil. How would I tell if I did? The lights went off right after I installed the lift. They came on the next day while driving on the interstate. The steering wheel is straight.

As long as ESP Isn't kicking in just let it go for a little. May go away on its own. Also could try disconnecting the negative battery terminal for a few

I've disconnected the negative for 30 mins two times. I have the abs light on, the esc/bas? Light and the esp symbol on. I can't figure it out. The stability control isn't kicking in at all. Any suggestions are very welcomed!! Thanks

[QUOTE="Rolltide66;3700828"]I've disconnected the negative for 30 mins two times. I have the abs light on, the esc/bas? Light and the esp symbol on. I can't figure it out. The stability control isn't kicking in at all. Any suggestions are very welcomed!! I drove it an entire day before they came on. They came on at highway speeds, and won't go off. I do not drive it daily.

Yeah sounds like you may have tweaked a wheel sensor. I'd just drive it and see if it goes away. They sometimes do. You aren't hurting anything

The track bar will change the steering center but that's all. The lift will change the castor but castor can't be adjusted without adjustable control arms or geometry correction brackets. The camber only changes when you bend something big.

Nothing to see an alignment shop about. Center and toe-in are simple to adjust, and the shop can't do anything else for you.
