I had some bad DW after installing an Adjustable Panhard on the front. Used to have the same issue with my GQ.
Have a Wheel balance done but ask them to Balance off the Studs rather than the Centre. Fixed mine on the JK (for some reason with the softer Panhard Bushes it's more sensitive to the Wheel Balance).
But like other above said, it really is a process of elimination..... Don't get frustrated as it will not do you any good.

It's probably not, but if everything else has checked out, could the centre diff be locked in giving transmission windup? Makes front ends jump all over the place......
But something would have broken by now....

The other thing to check is that ESP isnt locking brake on one side, maybe pull fuse & test drive.
Also many people think everything is tight but actually isnt, you need torque wrench & tighten whilst sitting on wheels not on hoist/jacks.

Hi J..
Give me a call if you like and I will talk you through all the possibilities for the cause and fix of the issue - I have had it on our JK and it took me approx 2 weeks to fix but now it's all good
I know it's a scary and frustrating thing (freaked the living day lights out of my wife and kids) but it's fixable!
Cheers

is there a separate fuse to pull on the ESP?
I have a fault with mine and it kept braking me up a hill (offroad) I wanted to pull it but it appears to be the same fuse powering the fuel pump?
Dealer doesn't know whats wrong with it, i have Three (3) Fault lights up! Would of been nice to know cos i was in a jam today Its going back to dealer next week for them to have another crack at it, bloody computers have no place on a 4B4.

Hey Shortstuff,
I am sure you are aware but thought i will raise the question any old how but were you in Hi or Lo. If in Hi then the ESP will be kicking in unless you manually turn it off

The Wheel speed sensors on the JK are crap guys, cheap and are not a fan of fine metallic dust or dirt build up, Easy fix on Trail if ESP is activating intermitantly when it is not surposed to, is do the ESP Kill mod, or simply disconnect a Wheel speed sensor Plug <- this will pull an Open circuit fault in the ESP control unit and disable it. No wheel speed signal on any individual wheel will disable it, keep in mind thats ABS, Traction and the lot Off. it's an easy get out of jail free card.
