Why would you have to sell it? You've already concluded that it's something in the front suspension. This could be something as simple as a loose bolt. Get it checked out and weigh your options on how to get it fixed. It's not like you are going to get awesome resale value right now anyway; selling a car that quickly would raise some red flags, with me anyway.
selling becuase its 9000 dollars worth of damage and if things are gonna break i dont want to have it! and i got the car checked out, they couldn't find what it was... do you guys know what it might be!?

I shall be nice to you now.
I don't know what it could be.
Good luck selling a car that you're having enough problems with that you want to sell it... lol...
If all the repairs have been done by a specific shop, they should fix it for you. Most repair shops have a lifetime warranty on the parts they replace. Good luck kid!

$9000 in damage isn't saying anything. If a guy were to run a key all the way around your car right now, and you had to get it re-painted completely, that would be $9000 just for the paint, with no body work. Your biggest question here is "is the frame ok" anything beyond that is trivial. Everything in the suspension can be replaced, but if the frame is crap, you are begging for trouble. Does it have a clean title?
thats the thing, ford and a VERY good tires plus specialist said the frame is perfect, and everything is perfect. the title is clean, and carfax and autocheck said the car is clean. but i still saw with my own eyes from the state government with my vin that my car was in an accident. i dont know.. any estimates on how much a new suspention would cost?

Carfax will only have it on file if it was a reported claim with an Insurance company.
So if it went unreported for whatever reason carfax would have no Idea.
any estimates on how much a new suspention would cost?
Any estimate with what is wrong aside from "the suspension"? You are not going to get the answers you are looking for if you do't ask the right questions.
Without a CLEAR definition of what is damaged NO ONE can give you an estimate.
Now stop freaking out and wasting your time posting unanswerable questions and either make a list of what needs to be replaced or take pictures of what needs to be replaced. If you are not capable of doing that take it to your closest Ford dealer for an estimate.
I’ll tell you if the frame is not bent the suspension will not be in the same galaxy as $9000. For that kind of money you can get an entire Griggs GR40 race suspension which is about the best suspension stuff you can buy for the car.

You need to calm down. You are putting the cart before the horse. Find out exactly what is wrong, then go from there. No need to replace things that aren't broken, unless you are modding. You've cleared the biggest hurdle, the frame. It doesn't take much of an accident to rack up 9K in repairs.
Get it to a shop and have them look at it. Have a couple look at it and get multiple opinions.
Now stop freaking out and wasting your time posting unanswerable questions... If you are not capable of doing that take it to your closest Ford dealer for an estimate.
Careful there, Squidd... Last time I said something like that I got banned.
Anyways, Steven, Squidd is one of the most "suspension" oriented guys on AFM... He offers sound advice.
