Default reversing problems in 4 high

Today I put a new steering stabalizer kit on (the stock one was leaking). Anyways after I put everything on I went for a drive and the ESP/BAS kicked on for the first time ever. After reading in the manual how to shut off ESP, which i cant turn back on now, that warning light went away. However, while I try to make a turn in reverse, while being in 4 high, it will torque down on my rear wheels bind up. I am not sure if this is just always how it is and i never noticed. Or did I mess something up in the front end. Has anyone had this reverse problem?

I can't imagine how the stearing stabilizer could in any way effect your backing or ESP or anything else (other than steering damping). I would look for another reason. What "everything" did you put on? Just a new stabilizer or something else?

If you were making your turn on pavement that is a normal reaction. Four wheel drive should not be used on solid surfaces as it will cause the axles to bind up when turning.

I know there is no snow or ice in ChiTown today so get out of 4WD while you're driving on the road.
