Like I said a while ago man... Get that thing off your hands ASAP. As I recal you are having electrical problems too, it sounds like more of a headache then I would want to mess with. Remember that 1990 TT project car we bought... The one where the chic hit the curb at 95 a basiaclly "blew" the front suspension out? Well we gave up on straightening it, and just had the machine shop weld a new front on... Good luck man.

If you hit the curb at 55-60, you should replace every piece of suspension in the front on the side that you hit. I would be very surprised if the frame wasn't bent beyond the point of repair. If it can be repaired, as mentioned by NISOM LMR, you should sell it. It will cause you headaches forever. Since you didn't do any damage to the engine on this, of course the car will still be fast. Testing the speed and acceleration of the car will not help you diagnose a handling problem. Of course the car will still cruise at 120. It's probably not to smart to do if the front wheel is about to fall off. How did you hit the curb at 60? You should become more comfortable with your car at the speed limit before you endanger your life and other people's lives at 120. We've had many posts that explain driving fast is ok as long as you're being safe. With a suspension problem of this magnitude, driving at 120 isn't safe. Just an observation. I'm sure others agree. Fix the car before you do anymore speed runs.
