Looks like it needs replacement.

Just replace.

it's not the best invention.

It's easy and low cost to replace

You have been riding on the bump stops too much. I assume lowering springs?

With time the springs sag and the rubber pads that hold them in place deteriorate so you end up with bigger drop than 0.5". I would replace them too. Same with the bump stops. If they are beaten up replace them.

Okay maybe it was a recent pothole. These mounts are less than 5k miles
