Weird they show up on my thread. I pasted the image links from my email. Is there another way to do it?

Yeah, you gotta host them somewhere like photobucket. You can probably see them cause they are on your gmail but it is not public which is why we can't see them and you can. Just my guess, anyway.

Let's Try this Again

Had do some trimming of the pinchwelds to fit the 32s at 3.5". Drivers side just barely clears at full turn.

Didn't have to trim as much on the passenger side.

In Summary:

Looking for answers as to why the steering rack keeps failing and why the ESP is malfunctioning. Thanks Guys!

Here's a couple more views of the front end with some better lighting. Are you guys able to see the photos this time?

I can see them. Tie rod ends on wrong side? They are labeled right and left. Upper control arm on wrong side? Something is not together correctly.

Works now. I'll have to see what my tie rods looks like. Your CVs look like a similar angle, so tie rods probably are too.

Also, thank you for the cutting pics. Like the only ones I've seen with actual 32s and stock bumper at 3.5". I'm definitely bumping up to 32s... Do you happen to know the specs of your wheels off hand?

Don't remember the wheels specs offhand. I know I went with whatever dimensions tommudd recommended on my original build thread over on Jeep forum.

Aright I'll go try to hunt it down.

Anyways these are my passenger side CV and tie-rod.

Forgive the ugliness. She's over due for a good cleaning.

I guess my angle is a tad steeper with the bigger tires, butt looks pretty similar. Let's hope the problem was related to the steering pump. No issues with steering over the past 2 weeks of road driving. Still getting some malfunction of the ESP but able to avoid this by starting the drive in 4wd. The ESP issues seem like a more common problem so I've been digging through some threads on the forum. Might have the dealership try to recalibrate the steering angle sensor next time it's due for an oil change. Seems like some people with similar issues had success with that. I think I've underestimated the sheer amount of information on this forum so it's renewed my hope that I might be able work these issues out without having to change up the current build.

Tire size doesn't affect the angle at all. Only your suspension height will.

Guys is there any way to reset the computer? I was digging through the ESP sticky thread and there doesn't seem to be a general consensus on how to solve the problem. Seems like some people have had succes having the dealer recalibrate the steering angle sensor but I was wondering if there's anything I can do myself. PS is it me or does it seem like the angles of my front end are steeper than BMXers?
