Default bent strut question

Will a bent strut cause the front end to pull?? I hit a pothole going 60 and bent a rim. Got a new rim and had front end aligned and still pulls to the right. Switched tires front to back on that side and still no help.

Yes a bent strut can cause a pull. Do you know what your front camber and caster readings are?

I did not get a print out from the dealer, so no. I did not tell them about hitting the pothole, so I am sure they were not looking for anything being bent. I am going to have to go back next week and have them take another look and see if they can see what the problem is.

Just have the strut replaced and you should be back to normal. I'm at 31K and have yet to need an alignment even with several spring installs.
