Hi all...
It's my first rodeo, so go easy on me. I just got my first ever lift! I opted for the Teraflex 2.5" ST2 with Rubi Wheels (on a Sahara) + BFG KO2 35" Tires.
Now OCCASIONALLY when I turn slightly left or right, or come out of a turn, my steering wheel jumps left to right. The wheel literally is jerked out of my hands and turned 1/2" left, then right, then left, etc... After a few seconds, it stops jumping about.
I took it into the installer about 200-250 miles later (because they wanted me to bring it in after the suspension settles), and mentioned the jumping steering wheel.
He said it was the anti-skid control engaging because I have larger wheels now. I call BS on that. After test driving further, it happens with the anti-skid turned off. He told me that turning the anti-skid off doesn't actually turn it off (Really? Is this true?) ... for safety reasons.
Anyone have any diagnosis thoughts on what I could be looking at to try to help my installer out?
THANKS
Terry
