I lifted my jeep 2" and put a set of 35" tires on it and not the esp is going nuts on curvy roads. my steering wheel is straight, any one else had this problem? is there a way to disable the esp completely?

 

Yep! I just learned to take turns a little slower and wider.

 

I have learned that you have to make sure the steering wheel is perfectly strait. Even then you will still have problems at first but I don't exactly know how the system works but it seems to figure it out on it's own after driving it for a while. I believe that it is a computer controlled system so it must re-calibrate itself every so often.

 

what lift? coils or spacers? do you have adjustable track bars? If your axles are not center it'll set your ESP off.

If you have to slow down, you really should get your lift adjusted.

I have a 3" long arm and can not get the ESP to kick on with regular driving, even going fast on curves and offramps it still doesnt go off.

 

its skyjacker 2.5" lift coils front and rear. came with trac bar bracket for rear not front. i drive on curvy mountain roads every day and there is several places the esp kicks in and it can be a little dangerous the jeep tryin to think for me on the brakes cause it tends to pull one direction and not always the way it needs to

 

a couple thoughts,




Dump, that trac bar bracket and get adjustable track bars,

Front adjustable control arms to fix you caster, it'll fix the dartyness and probley stop the ESP from kicking in. Thats my two cents, others might not agree,.

 

Yes. More caster is solution of this situation. You need more than stock,5-6°.

 

Here is how you turn everything off, though I'm not so sure you really want to.

FWIW I fought with severe esp issues for months after my OME 2.5 lift. ESP went back to normal only after I put adjustable upper/front control arms 1/8" longer than stock. By severe, I mean I could not hardly go around a corner without the thing going off (even when it said it was off on the dash). By normal, I mean it has engaged once in about a year - and it should have engaged as I was taking a corner too quick on ice.

 

Yep erroneous ESP firing is just a symptom of a poorly setup suspension. Yes you can just disable ESP, but that's a really bad idea. One because you're leaving your suspension setup badly. Two your turning off what I think is a very effective safety system.

The bottom line is...
Your steering wheel needs to be centered
Your axles need to be centered
Your castor needs to be 4+ degrees (preferably more like 6).

People don't like to hear that answer because it typically means purchasing adjustable trackbars and adjustable lower control arms. But it is what it is.

My ESP never fires unless it should.
