2008 jeep wrangler 2.5 in old man emu lift 35 in tires. when turning or at any speed almost the steering feels un responsive and. Cant find any visible bends or brakes. When the censor turns on the problem seems to almost stop.
If your steering wheel is off center, this can cause the problem. Luckily this is very easy to fix -- you can do so even if you have little to no experience working on your vehicle.
1. Park the vehicle with the wheels facing straight ahead (drift forward until you are moving in a straight line). Don't worry about the steering wheel position.
2. Locate the steering drag link -- the diagonal rod coming from the bottom of the steering arm to the top of the passenger side steering knuckle (on the axle near the tire)
3. Loosen the two bolts on the rotating adjustment collar on this link. I believe these are 13mm.
4. Rotate the collar one way about two or three turns, check the steering wheel to ensure that the "Jeep" logo is perfectly horizontal. If it's not, continue rotating the collar (or move it in the opposite direction) until the wheel is centered.
5. Tighten down the nuts on the drag link adjuster.
6. Take her for a test drive and let me know how it worked!

I have the exact same setup, and I have no problems with the steering being unresponsive.
What sensor are you referring to? The traction control?
