Problem/likely cause: Left front strut bent??
Mods: None
Submitted for warranty: yes
Reason for Denial: They said that because the vehicle looks like it has been in an accident, they will not warranty the strut.
My Story: Brought the car in because it was pulling to the right just a little bit, i thought it needed an alignment. They called me back saying it was a bad/bent strut and that they (Patrick Subaru in MA) would not cover it under warranty because it looked like the car had been hit. Which is B/S, i have a clean carfax and it's just the slightest bit bent. I will probably try another couple of dealerships before i contact SOA.

Bent is not a matter for warranty. It is not a defect. Anything caused by an outside influence is not a matter for warranty. Somewhere along the line, you or someone else driving your car hit something, whether it was a pothole or curb, to cause it to bend.
This would be a matter for your insurance company, not warranty. But, I am sure your deductible is more than the repair itself, or close to it.
