Hey team
07 WM Caprice 6.0L
I'm on a mission to solve a ESP stabilitrak issue that has been a problem for me for a few years.
The issue is it thinks the car is in a slide in the corners when it isn't and takes over, braking etc.
This has only started when I fitted redline 19" wheels, I fitted them because I fitted brembo brakes to my car.
Factory Redline wheels, 19x8.5 245/40/19 dunlop sp sport maxx front & 19x9 275/35/19 RE003 rear.
When i first fitted the redline wheels, there was no issue. They had half worn yokohama tyres. The issue began when I had two new tyres fitted to the rear. They were 275/35/19 (mid range brand, can't remember exactly which one) as recommended and what came off, every corner was an issue. They were taken off and a different brand fitted, Neuton 512. They were much much less of an issue initially but ESP still activated fairly regularly on RH bends. Once some wearing occurred, the ESP would only activate on one particular corner on my road home. It's a RH bend with a bumpy surface mid corner. I regularly tested it with ESP off and could go much faster than regular traffic speed through that bend with out issue. ESP would regularly activate there at regular traffic speed. Another corner on my road home has had some pot holes develop and it now activates there as well. I could live with it like that so haven't done anything about it, I have replaced the wheel speed sensor and had it out to make sure it was clean since fitting but no improvement was achieved. It's always the LH front wheel braking when ESP activates.
Yesterday I had a pair of 275/35/19 RE003 fitted to the rear, it has reverted back to ESP activating regularly.
Has anyone had this issue and solved it?
I have seen other similar issues in other threads but they don't seem to have been resolved.
