    Tie rod = ESP light

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So i did my right outter tie rod yesterday. Now my ESP light comes on. I had to replace it before i get my alignment done. My steering wheel is off now also it sits at 2 o'clock now. Is it possible for my alignment to be that bad that the ESP light would come on. It goes off when i re start and after i drive above 10mph there she is.

    Thanks

    you could check out the rake sensor on driversside lower front controlarm, its plastic and quite fragile. Otherwise idk, have you done a full turn right/left then restart?

    If your steering wheel is not aligned properly then ESP and ABS light may come on

    Yeah, my brothers ESP light started coming on right after he did his control arm job, went away as soon as he had the car aligned.
