Can anyone explain what’s happened here? New front suspension only fitted a month ago. Notice loud metallic knocking when full lock and driving slowly. Just had a look up into the wheel arch and seen this. Looks like the spring isn’t seated correctly??
Is that the top mount toasted now?

Re: Top mount (can see ball bearings!)
Looks like that top mount bearing is upside down. I'm sure the bearing race should be above the spring seat to take the weight.
