Accord Hit the Curb!
Well here I am cruising along at 105 and this curb jumps out of no where! Anyways I'm looking for anything people have got to toss out there on info on this one. So far it looks like I got lucky and there's no frame damage (no creases or crinkles anywhere on the body or roof) but the whole drivers side front suspension and steering components need replaced, any info would help.
I was lucky once and all i got was a flat tire and dented stock rim on my other car.
but once not so lucky when backing it knocked my frame and tie rods out. I had to frame straighten and align and replace parts etc.
It sucked.
Needless to say i bought another car (accord) and now i baby it and hope to never hurt it with any curbs.

Even if there aren't wrinkles in the frame... it may still be bent enough that you car won't handle properly or will be difficult to align correctly after the suspension components are replaced.
FYI - I would not typically consider taking turns over 80mph a particularly smart or safe thing to do in a 91 Accord Wagon. The stock suspension just isn't set up for that type of performance.

What info are you looking for? You already apparently know what to do about it.
