Fair enough - I'm not up with using my phone for internet - that's why I've got a laptop...

got back from the mechanics, its either the strut or the strut housing on top that is bent.
there is about 8mm different between the strut and top of wheel between the right and left

don't know weather to try and buy a front top strut brace and push and pull the wheel with the control arm loose then tighten, this will hopefully fix that gap and make it steer more somewhat straight.
or buy a new strut- only issue is if the strut housing is bent this wont help and Ive just wasted a few $$$.

suggestions???

Get a used strut from a wrecked foz. then if that fixes it you know you need to buy a good strut (KYB??) later on.
Then if thats not it you have only wasted a small amount of money
