I have never heard about Longitude on Fords!

The ESP system uses a steering angle sensor, an accelerometer and a yaw rate (rate of turn) sensor, in addition to the usual ABS wheel sensors, to add some steering stability control to the ABS system.

The steering angle sensor is probably in the steering wheel near the airbag. The yaw sensor and accelerometer will be on a body crossmember somewhere, most likely. In the Focus, these sensors go straight to the ABS unit, which also does the ESP. In the Mondeo, I think there is a separate module (Vehicle Dynamics) for the ESP. Not sure about the Transit.

But if you were working on the suspension, I would double check that it is not just one of the ABS sensors damaged or disconnected, first.
