Default Popping from drivers side strut!!

I got hit with the curse.I noticed that when it compresses, the boot shifts to the side and clanks.Is my strut top need to be replaced, new shock, new what??I hate the noise and the car is not being driven till it's fixed.Guys, please help.I will admit that today I was hitting the onramps hard and corners too.Could that have set it off??????/

You can see the sleeve move to the side and clank at compression.I went over some speed bumps and the car sounded like it was going to fall apart.What is the culprit of this???I need some insight,please!!
