A. slow down! (kidding)

i had this problem before any mods. centre the steering wheel. it's easy and you can do it urself.

hope this helps.
How do you recentre your steering wheel? I feel like mine is fine when I'm driving slow but on the highway I feel like I'm constantly holding my wheel a little to the right

re-center the wheel again. it took 2 tries after my lift. If you still want to turn it off, follow the instructions in the owners manual. Then you can rip donuts etc

Well, you loose your BLD, your stability control system, and some of the effectiveness of your Braking. No different then driving a TJ. Your little ESP light stays on. Those are the affects I noticed.

If you have a front locker and break a front axle... you will want to pull this chip if you plan on continuing off roading. Just an fyi

Mine just had a switch just in front of the T-case, down there along with the switch for the hazzard lights. Mine was doing the same, recentered the steering wheel (took me about 5 trys) and now its all good. But turning the ESP off is def a pluss in the mud and stuff. Do they all not have the same [ESP OFF] switch down there??
