Suspension Problem

[Liver]

Ive been having some clunking/knocking issues coming from my drivers front,
got chance last night to get wheel off and have a look

here's what i found





Its in the garage at the minute, think the plastic part is a dust cover??

can anyone shed any light on this for me?

the shock was dry with no leakage etc

just spoke to the garage

he claims there is nothing wrong with the suspension and has stripped it down and its just the plastic cover thts at fault and said he cnt hear any knocking/clunking noises while driving it.

he then said well it has been lowered hasnt it so it could be that lol

Suspensions been stripped down and a new plastic cover has been ordered and the soonest they can get it is friday!!

No car till then booo
