blown strut?

driving home from San Diego yesterday, I took a turn and heard my left front tire rub taking the corner (never has before). The Max has been taking some pretty hard pot holes lately from the rain. Pushing on the side fender seems tight, no noise from the suspension and no leakage under the strut. Could it be possibly blown?

I had blown rear struts on my 95, thw ride was very bouncy, every time I went over a bump, it sounded like something was rattling (like dropping a bouncy ball from 3 inches is the best way i can describe it, ha) and the car would lean a lot on turns, I'm not sure but it doesn't sound like its blown
