Looks like the boot is just out of place. Get some pliers and pull it back up. Should be fine.

It has a crack on the side I’m not sure if it’s a bump stop it feels like rubbery I’m taking it to ford in the morning

I didn't see the video. Maybe I should have. Just the pictures. Nice to meet you by the way

not a bump stop, that would be external to the shock tower to limit travel of the body of vehicle against the suspension

That looks like a rubber grommet to hold the shocks boot in place

I just went and checked mine and it does seem like it's there to hold the boot in place. Mine is all wibble-wobbly like OPs as well, just not torn like his.

Hopefully someone who has got a good hands on look at the shocks will chime in.

Your shock definitely ain't broke, but Ford should give you a new one with an intact boot.

I have had these shocks apart a few times its just the boot slide it back up it's fixed. Where you flexing the Bronco. It tends to happen when you get on rocks.

YO OP:

YOUR FOAM BUMPSTOP IS TORN ON THAT SHOCK. End.

Ford should replace it under warranty.
Sasquatch has foam bumpstops.

A lot of keyboard warriors round here.

Your bump stop is damaged as well as the plastic boot.

This is what the bump stop looks like inside. The top section is semi-rigid (enclosed in a plastic cup). The bottom section is flexible.

This looks like a wax problem.

Well if Ford is using a chunk of urethane on the shock shaft as a bumpstop I hope they get real bump stops on the Bronco Raptor....
