ESP/Can it be removed/procomp lift knocking

Hey, Does anyone know if i can tear out the esp sensors on a 06'? even with the off button enguaged, i loose power on turns the minute one tire slips. and on sharp turns the abs sounds like sheet metal vibrating against the rotor. I also run 265/75R16's on rubicon rims with a 3" procomp front lower strut spacer, even when i go over a speed bump and the suspension drops out i hear a nasty "CLUNK". Is it the upper A arm on the spring? I don't see and rub marks/ thanks[/img]

Not sure why you posted in the Post pics section. You would should have posted in the top two (General and KJ) for more views/responses.

Check your Lower Ball Joints. Jack up the front and let them droop to full. If the LBJ's hit the spring, that's your noise.

I've posted several times on the evil ESP. Do you have an auto or a 6spd?

I think moose means the upper ball joints.

The pro-comp uses a spacer similar to the Rough-county lift and will cause problems with the upper a-arm contacting the spring. I'm assuming this is what your set up looks like

If so then that is your problem. See this post for a more in-depth discussion.
