Can a strut get bend without any other physical damage to the car, such as a blown tire, bent wheel or any other damage to the car. It had been in a severe tbone accident when it was less than a month old and about one year ago there was a bent wheel and blown tire because of hitting an object in the road. These two accidents were repaired by the same dealer. Now after complaining since the first incident we've complaind that the car pull to the right.

The strut was probably bent in the first accident. A strut usually will not bend in an up and down motion like hitting a pot hole or something like that, it usually takes a side impact so I would say it was missed the first time. Thanks and have a great day.
