Explain this to me

My car still has all of it's original front end parts except for swaybar bushings which I replaced, it's been slowly starting to pull more and more to the right so I took it in to get it lined up, the guys tell me my right strut is frozen and the center link is a little worn, they set the toe-in and tell me the frozen strut is causing the pull to the right, but how can a strut be frozen if I can push down on the fender and it moves up and down and feels fine? I know it's well past time to replace them anyway but can a frozen strut really cause pulling?

Re: Explain this to me

my car used to pull to the right. I put some extra air in the right tire, and let some out of the left. Now it tracks straight on the highway.

He may mean that he can't adjust where the strut sets in relation to where it needs to be for the allignment. I'd say to get new mounts and struts and new center-link....and pretty much the whole suspension.
