My son was driving his car and hit a block of wood that ruptured the front right tire, broke the rim and fog light, and I saw that the strut itself was pushed down pass where it's supposed to sit in the knuckle. I took it out and compared to new ones online but I don't see a different. I thought there is a place in the knuckle where the strut goes in where it sits and won't allow it to go any lower based on how the strut looks on the bottom. But I don't see like a little lip or anything that holds it in place other than the bolt. This used knuckle is how it looks, this is also how mine looks, and this is how the strut looks. I am trying to figure out whether the strut is only thing that was damaged or bent or the knuckle as well. As after I replaced the wheel and dropped the car the strut hits the tire right below where the spring ends. And there is a scuff there, so I bought a new strut. The first picture is for my knuckle.
