Default Traction Control problems???!!!

I was driving home yesterday and hit a large pot hole that I couldn't avoid going about 30 miles an hour. After the bump, the traction control light came on as well as the ESB BAS light. My steering wheel is also now not aligned to my wheels. I tried doing some small adjustment but nothing seemed to work. Every time I turn on my jeep, both lights stay on.

Does anyone have some guidance/advice on this? Please let me know, thanks

You need to adjust your draglink. I took my Jeep in for an alignment after I did my lift and they adjusted it for me. The problem your experiencing is identical to what happened to me before I took it in.

Me and a friend just adjusted mine yesterday i was having the same issue , is due to the stering not center it thinks its gona get out of control. Undo your draglink and twist right or left where ever it needs without touching you steering wheel it will move and lock it tight when is center.

Does the adjustment have to be pretty dead on? I adjusted it and got the lights to go out but they came back because I'm just a little off of center with the steering wheel. I'll keep playing with it...thanks

No, it took about 25 miles on the highway before the lights kicked on again. Nothing underneath looks bent....
