Can you get the old housings? We are talking about the part that bolts to the strut, Right? How can that get distorted unless they took it apart with a torch? That sounds like a bad practice to me. Isn't the hub and old bearings supposed to be pressed out? Would you inspect the old housing before pressing in the new bearing? A round bearing will not work well in an oval bore.
Your driving is not going to make the housing bore become oval. Even if the bearing went bad and you drove on the bad bearing, it would not distort the housing. What made the bearing go bad in the first place?
You can also look at it this way. They installed new bearings that failed and ruined your housing.
How many bearings did you have replaced?
If you get the old hubs back I would like to check them out.
