I was told that some of the cars when shipped to the states wound up with bent struts. It is from how they were secured during shipping. The only thing you can do is replace your struts and make sure your mounting points are not compromised. I bought a used 04 and could have bought another bit I had them put on a lift and checked for the rub and one had it and one didn't. Bought the one that didn't have the run and upset the dealer because now he knows about it and has to spend money to fix a car that is on his lot Good luck
