While taking out my front suspension assembly, i noticed something wierd with my passenger side.

problem;




As you can see, the "molding" holding the top bushing of the strut assembly is all crooked. This is the original top plate that had 220 000km when i installed my setup (Koni yellow + H&R sport spring, all inner bushing were replaced with brand new ones). The top plate was in good condition when i re-installed it. Now at 297 ***km, this is the result.. All was re-assembled according to specs.

Now, what could have caused this!?!?
