Knock Knock, its a broken top strut mount

OK, I lowered my X with B&G springs,adjustable endlinks and used Dinan camber plates. Installed new Struts and Top strut mounts as the old strut mounts had cracks. See Pic below:

I have put about 1,000 miles on since the install. Just yesterday I start hearing a knocking sound coming from the driver side strut. Turns out the the rubber area that holds the strut has completely broken and is allowing the strut to bang around. Has anybody heard of the top strut mount failing like this?
