Literally... DROPPED my CL!

ok.. i was working on the brakes.. i jacked up the right front side with a jack stand.... then stupid me went to dinner and when I came back i forgot that the front is jacked up with a jack stand so... i started jacking up the right rear side to begin bleeding... the jackstand in the front snapped and my CL dropped to the floor... looks like the front is sitting on the rotors...

Well.. i manage to get everything done and test the car out... well everything seems fine... but what kinda of prob can i expect in something like this??? Oh.. sometimes therez a grinding sound in the front when i brake hard.... is there a prob???

LOL you dropped the whole front end, werent you on stands? i think you could have damaged your axle or your control arm bend something, you name it with a lot of force even a foot or so, you can damage a lot

If you really think that there is something wrong, take it to a frame shop and they can tell you if you messed anything up.
