Stabillitrak Issue....jack failed
Hope someone can help. Installed a bmr rear sway bar and lowering springs today. I did the front yesterday and all went well, car drove great. Today's install went fine, however when I raised the car to remove the jackstands, the jack failed just after I'd moved one stand and the car fell about 3" before the remaining (drivers) stand caught it. Of course this twisted the vehicle at a bad angle and I got it back up as fast as possible. Couldn't find any damage however, upon test driving it I noticed it's now pulling hard to the right and I've got the "service stabillitrak" message. Visual inspection reveals nothing unusual front or back. Anyone have any ideas? I want to do a little trouble shooting if possible before taking it to the dealer as I know they're going to question the spring/sway install. Thanks!

Somethings either heavily bent or broken. That impact from the jack failing was all it needed to cause damage. If you can’t visually see the damaged piece then you may have to take it apart or have a alignment shop take a look. It probably also bent a bolt or two but you’re gonna need to replace some suspension piece. I doubt the sway bar or springs had issue, probably one of the control arms or endlinks, check all pieces front and rear

I'm also wondering if the stabillitrak light will come on just from messed up alignment or is there also an issue with the st system?

I hydroplaned last year and the rear wheel smacked the median and stabilitrak came on, after replacing all the damaged pieces the light went away by itself even before I got a alignment
