stabilizer deployed is it possible to put back?

Last night my car said serves advance track and caused all my wheels to lock up, caused my rear end to slide out and hit a curb, side airbag deployed and stabilizer deployed, nothing else. I was only going 20mph and thought it was strange for this to happen, the stabilizer deployed. Any way to lock this back in place?

What do you mean it "deployed"? The roll bar should stay attached to the vehicle, it is never supposed to come off on purpose.

OK, is English your first language? I ask because "deployed" would suggest it did what it did on purpose (which it didn't). Just want to make sure everyone is clear as to what is going on.

If it broke off, which would not be a surprise given what happened, it is unlikely it can be just "put back on". Something likely broke, which will need to be replaced. A trustworthy and competent mechanic should have a look and see what is needed.

So are you suggesting the roll bar came off on purpose, as a safety feature? Again, are we talking about the same part? Nothing underneath the vehicle should become disconnected during a crash unless it was damaged during the crash. The only thing that "deploys" are air bags. Everything else breaks.

If it is just a long (goes across from 1 side to the other) straight bar it might be the Pan hard Bar, it didn't deploy, it broke and it is not safe to drive. If it is an End Link take the other side off until fixed.
Since you hit a curb going side ways it might be the pan hard bar.

I still want to see the stabilizer that deployed!

I thought it was a new secret feature that I had never heard of before, got all excited and stuff.
