Default WTB Passengerside Front Strut

I just found out that I have a bent front strut. With the original tyres (when I bought the car in July) I did not notice it, but now that I have gone much wider with my M3 rims, it is quite noticible that I have a LOT of negative Camber on the passengerside.

I had thought that the car had been in a small accident at one time due to the fender to bumper fit, but this proves it. Fortunatly, it looks like the suspension turret is not bent, just the strut itself.

This also explains why that strut is more or less blown and allows the car to wallow in turns.

You have to replace struts in pairs. It's actually not too bad a DIY job.

well, it is not the strut itself I am worried about. The mounts for the spindle are all messed up pretty badly. Once I get the "new" strut, I can take my driver's side off too and drop a nice set of Koni inserts into both sides.
