The inner fender well came off on the front left tire of my C320 2005 Mercedes. I have
noticed that since then that the car can hardly drive as fast and is slow moving as if
being held back. Is this common?

Nothing on the dash. But I hit a curb and that fender came off. Now I'm starting to think it hurt the mechanics; it feels as if the left-front side of the car is doing no work. Very slow moving and a little noisy.

Have you noticed any extremely hot temps coming from the brake caliper or rotor from the left front wheel that took damage? The ABS sensor or cailper may have been damaged during the accident.
