Ok my right front strut is blown, or i think it is anyway. I have kyb agx all around and i hit a HUGE pothole about a month ago and the car pulls to that side and the hole 9 yards. Well at first i thought it was not blown but then i relized a few things. Making left turns hard feel mooshy (placing more wight on the passanger strut) compaired to my right hand turns which the weight is on the other side. Also i noticed my wheel gap changed. On the driver side its about 3 fingers and the passanger side its about 2 fingers. So my question is would a blown strut change the ride height on that side? Also i do here a little sqeeking from that side like it is a blown strut. But i just want to know if a strut could make the ride height change a little bit if it was blow. Or if i bent somthing and what could i have bent to make the change in ride height. Thanks
 
i'd order another AGX and throw that on there as soon as u can so u dont mess anything else up.
 
I was doing about 150 mph on a open country road when i came upon a bridge, i slowed down to 140. Well, there was a lip in front of the bridge and BAM! One nasty smack and the front AGX'S are gone. I am going to send them back to KYB and see if they will replace/repair them. If anyone has ever done this, let me know how there customer service is.

thanks
