My one front strut on my kw v2's has a slight bulge/bend on the bottom just above where it drops into place. The strut does not leak and fully operates. I know it sounds stupid but can I still use it until I can afford a minimum $350 replacement?

Bulge? As if there's too much pressure from the inside?
If so, did you go over a huge pot-hole or hit something with alot of force?
