Bending a Strut is highly unlikely unless you are going really really fast hoping a curb, if there was any damage on the rim itself more than likely the rim is out of round. That would cause a pull. Try rotating the tires, but only if the rim in the front in bent. Struts don't bend easily. I work as a mechanic and a insurance adjuster. I seen some pretty bad accident and horrible drivers. No way it could be a bent strut, go to a chain auto repair shop like sears or pepboys and ask them to do a alighment evaluation, see how far off are the angles. Anything more than half a degrees would cause a pull. More than likely if the rim is bad it would even sound up on the alignment machine. you can only is if a rim is bent on a balancer, so ask them to spin the rim with the stratches and see if its bent. If the specs on the aligner shows out of alignment check the supension, not the struts, look at tie rods.....
