Few issues I'm having...

Some history first... 2010 sstc.. Fully bolted and tuned. Eibach sport lines on stock struts.

First - I'm getting a pretty strong pull to the right when driving. I had just changed from coils to stock struts with springs... Got an alignment and new tires... Still pulls to the right. Under WOT it's all over the road. Kinda scary.. When I was changing my suspension and connecting the swaybar to the end links, I bolted one up, it was fine when I went to do the right side, it was real hard to get connected to the end link... Could this have something to do with it?

Second- my traction control light stays on constantly, and the traction control button doesn't work.. In dash says service esc. I had changed all wheel bearings prior. It's drivin me nuts. Where do I start?

Any help is appreciated !!

most likely ur abs sensors are shot or u didn't plug em back in. if they are not working, nither does ur traction control system and the light would come on. check if u plugged em in. and its a good thing to silicon the back of the plug where the wires go into the plug. my traction control system always screwed up when those got wet, and I burned out a few sensors, till I siliconed those and it never happened again

What have you done with your control arms, if nothing then you need to put new bushings in them, mine were moving around quite badly until I bought a set of bushings when I went to Powells shop. Moog solid bushings also work but their eventually going to break unlike the Powell bushings, at the same time though his bushings are around 4x the price.

Well I changed them trying to troubleshoot the problem. The button doesn't do anything when I press it. I might just bring it chevy cause I can't figure it out.

I had changed one awhile ago. Like last year. This pulling had happened after I changed my suspension back to struts and springs..

The thing I said about my swaybar, could that have anything to do with it?

if the sensors are shot then the button wont do anything, it doesn't do anything unless everything is working.

ABS sensors are in the hubs correct? I had changed them all not long ago. Someone told me speed sensors, those in the hubs also? Could it be anything else or it all lies in the hubs?
