Front Strut Bar Bent!
Hi, I've only had my RX a few days and have just found that the Front suspension tower bar is bent in the middle its not a massive bend.
My first thought was that it had been in a crash. I've looked for any signs of repairs to both wings but unless it was repaired professionaly and had a full respray I can't see any signs of reapir to the bodywork even the gaps between panels are exact.
It seams that the car was taken very care of, it's got a full up to date deailership service history and Tons of recepits, I have found that in 2007 it failed the MOT stating that the strut was insecure.
Would there be another reason for the bend?
Thanks
Steve

Yeah right in the middle! The only damage I can see on the strut is a little rubbing from the engine cover. Can't see any sign of paint cracking!
