I pulled it off myself to take the pic. You can see the metal clips on the inside where the rubber was worn away. My concern is that with the strut set at full stiff, and the other three corners not rubbing, that corner still compressed far enough for that to happen. Or is that common?

Between that and all the bumps I've been having to go over lately, I'm a bit worried.

Can you describe for me what happens when a strut craps out? I just wanna be sure.
