Re-building may well be an option - I'm exploring this one.
On the question of "abnormal abuse" - beyond bending the strut rod from accident impact or a wheel ripping pot-hole, how would they know? I've only driven the car on the street and have not subjected it to anything unusual nor have I ever hit a large pot-hole. The roads in Calgary are not billiard table smooth, but they don't have craters.
