Hi everyone just looking for some help on if it could be the dust boot that has seemed to have broken and stuck up on the strut originally I was told the strut was looking a bit leaky (gas covered or oily so it was changed with the lower ball joint as it sounded like a popping also but now after 100-200 miles of that I am hearing it again and I realize they didn’t swap out the dust boot had another shop check and say they think it is that the springs close in on that boot or so and makes a clunk over bumps and such is that all it could be it’s catching in the spring ? Or could it be something else 2 shops have already checked it out now saying to go back to who put in the strut maybe they put it straight not correct (at a angle they said ) and it could be that Here I posted pictures of how it looks

Driver side that the clunk comes from before strut replaced but still looks like this dust boot wasn’t fixed or changed
