Broken front stock shock cover

Got new tires installed last week, was checking lug nuts today and notice front shock cover was cracked. Never noticed before and don’t think the service station caused it. How would this happen and how long can I ride like this? 25k miles on these original shocks.

 

That cover will outlive the truck.

 

It's a cosmetic cover. Nothing is ruined nor will be ruined because of the crack. No way the tire co did it. Maybe a rock got thrown in just the right direction? Or a stick?

 

Send it.

If you want to warranty it, they will replace it. With that being said, it’s not much of a detriment as is

 

Well, thanks for the good news. Was hoping for some more replace and upgrade motivation….jk thanks

 

^In that case, replace the dust cover when your spring coil cracks from corrosion at the indicated point in about 3 years



It's a dust cover to keep debris away from the shock's shaft seal.

 

It's a plastic dust cover. What do you expect?
