just put a 6 inch lift in and the front right tire locks up

hey guys just put in a 6 inch bds lift and when i go to drive the front right tire locks up , i ripped out an abs sensor for that side wonderig if thats whats causing the problem ? or maybe the wheel bearing is shot all together ? please help me out this is all thats stopping me from driving my baby

 

Could be several different things. Have you pulled the wheel off and checked it out? Any damage to the wheel? Is there any grinding sound?

Two possibilities I can think for right off the bat would be wheels contacting the steering knuckle (don't most drop bracket lifts need 17-18 wheels because of this?), or brake rotor damage from the install.

Or frozen caliper maybe?

 

Blacktacoma23 ...this member has the same BDS lift...maybe he can give you some input. But I would lean towards that sensor line being damaged as a possible culprit.

 

ah i c, i got the ABS sensor ordered, but you guys figure its the whole line thats messed up?

 

and no grinder sound the.. wheel just rotated about 3/4 then stops completelty..

 

also just to be safe, make sure "tone ring" inside hub (for reading abs sensor) is not or has not been damaged, will still affect abs if it is damaged. check all clearances -rim to rotor, rim to caliper- rim/tire to knuckle or ball joint etc. just be very careful n thorough. do it once, do it right, the first time.

 

lol im just som punk kid who got ahold of a torch some sockets grinders and a welder and did er myself, now im banging my head against the wall, oh well ! trial by error ! im gonna go check all the clearances and what not right now
