Knocking right front suspension...strut mount gone?....

Hey guys,
I'm getting a loud knocking from the right front of my '99 9-3 w/ 81k miles. It started as a clunk...and now its a loud knock over even small bumps, and it makes me cringe. I had Bilstein Sport Shocks and Eibach Pro springs installed back in April. I asked my mechanic back then, and he said the strut mounts were fine. I popped the plastic caps on the strut towers just now. The rubber on the left side is very cracked. The rubber on the right side, where the knocking is, is basically all gone, with just a few shards left. I can see that there would likely be metal on metal contact between that sleeve and the metal on top of the strut tower. Does this make it pretty obvious my strut mount is gone?
Also, are the Bilstein Sport shocks going to make my strut mounts wear prematurely?
thanks for any input guys!
