OK, so here is my issue:

The other day when it snowed I warmed up my car to leave work and placed the system to snow mode. i took off from the parking lot and as i was driving down I had some dip shit pull in front of me with no warning so slammed on my brakes only to side forward and then ended up going over a curb.The front end went over the curb and I believe the tires didn't make it over the curb. It did make a loud bang. the driver of the other car just left and probably didn't even notice what happen to me.

The aftermath was that my alignment is now way off and the AYC system is not working and states it needs servicing. I have also noted an odd nose coming from the suspension/wheel area as if something is bent and or broken.

I have not had time to get under the car to see the damage or what may be wrong as of yet. Anyone have any ideas of what may be wrong with AYC sytem and if what if anything may be bent and or broken? Any help is appreciated as I refuse to take my car to the dealership. i will fix and issues myself except the alignment which I know will be needed.

Thanks in advance for the help.

sounds like something is definitely damaged. Have you checked the reservoir in the trunk to see if the level has changed at all? i wouldn't drive it until you get a chance to check underneath to prevent breaking anything else

Thanks for advice, sounds like I need to get the alignment fixed. I will do so in a few week when I have some extra cash as I will need new tires as well.

Fluid level is ok, checked that right away.

Doubt there is anything wrong with the actual rear diff, just take a look under the rear and see what you can see. Service light comes on when the alignment is so out of wack the WSS readings off enough that even when going straight at low speeds, there is a wheel speed difference.

Codes will probably be all related to the front end and the WSS, they get specific so try and read them.
