Default New Air Strut or not.

I am thinking that the strut and airbag combined may have to be replaced as a combined buy and refit.
Yet to drive vehicle since alignment, but steering was pulling a little .The front has been adjusted as well as rears and was set straight head on the machine which I understand so hopefully that side of things will resolve as I am told the steering angle needs to be reset on the computer..
I am so sick of these cheap airbag or eastern buy , ....my own fault , just trying to run on a budget !

As a foot note this morning going to work and then sent home because I cant now the car was still drawing to the left but noticed and measured the height on the troubled front L corner that it wasnt at full height . Went round a left corner at reasonable speed and the suspension locked out /inactive etc.. I got to work and switching the car off the suspension rose to height and the car went to sleep. On the way home I still detect a draw to the left but the suspension height is spot on.
Can anyone suggest what is maybe going on given the circumstances.
The Front left was bought last August and has never been right.Its either a salvage or bin it.I have the strut off just now , and trying to work out a way of leak test.

Looks like the leak is from the top seals from behing the damper thread . Dismantled the bag and the seals are all damaged , so the only way I
can replace all seals is to buy a replacement bag complete. Since I cant get an illustration of how the seals all lie in sequence to each other I will have to buy a complete strut and bag.
