Exclamation Lift Problem Need Help!!
Yesterday I installed a 2.5" teraflex coil lift and when I was driving home my ESP/BAS light and the ESP/TCS light came on and stayed on. Is that normal? What can I do to get them to turn off (maybe a rear adj. track bar)? thanks for the help.

Did you recenter your steering wheel?

Q: How do I recenter my steering wheel?
A: To re-center your steering wheel, use a 15mm wrench to loosen the 2 nuts on the turnbuckle on your drag link as shown in the pic below. Then, rotate the turnbuckle clockwise or counter clockwise as needed while a friend watches the steering wheel (or you periodically check on it yourself) go back to center. Once re-centered, secure the nuts and take it for a drive to check your steering wheel. This may take a few tries to get it on 100% but that’s all there is to it.

Check your abs wires , one could have been damaged or unplugged during install.

I have had it stay on for a while after re-centering. If it is still on after driving it for a day then it is time to find another reason.

Good Luck
