Hi, I was out in a trail Saturday. While looking for interesting things, I ran into a pretty good size ditch that i didnt see. Now my steering wheel is sitting vertical. My ESP/BAS light along with my traction control lights are on. Im guessing they're on because my steering wheel is off. I crawled under and everythinglooks good. No obviously bent parts . Tie rod, track bar and drag link all look normal. The steering wheel itself is centered.( one and a half turns each way). The jeep tracks straight with no wobble. Any suggestions on what else I can look for?

 

Really confused by this. are you saying that your steering wheel looks like it's clocked 90° to the side (sitting vertical rather than horizontal), yet your actual steering still appears to be perfectly centered? Outside of massive adjustment at the drag link turnbuckle, or physically clocking the steering wheel differently on the splines in the steering column, I'm not sure how that could be possible.

100% the lights are on due to the steering wheel position, so that part isn't a mystery. I think this has got to boil down to TR and DL bending even if they might look ok, unless there was so much force that maybe you bent your sector shaft?? How hard did you hit that ditch?
