need some advice on wheel speed sensor

After going off track fairly hard on buttonwillow, my steering wheel is crooked to the right but drives straight even if i let go of the wheel. Now if I try to straighten it out, it goes left. I dont think anything bent, but im not 100%. Are the wheel speed sensors easy to take out and if they are, just plug back in?

If the light went off you good the vss might of just freaked when you locked your tires up when u went off. Yes vss are ez to change but sounds like you don't need to get get an alignment before you mess up your tire toe messes tires up quick

did you look underneath to see if any of your tie rods are bent?

The FRS/BRZ has an electric steering rack that is mighty sensitive. This happened to our shop car. We did a hard reset on the car. Fixed everything...the only difference I notice is that we had the steering wheel light on.
