Bilstein Strut housing question
Do all Bilstein front strut housings have the upper cover on them?
 My front suspension that came with my car didn't have them? Are they missing?  If they ARE missing, does anyone know where I can get a pair of new ones ASAP? Thanks,

Also, is there nut or something the attaches the dust cover to the top? Or is it just held in place by the camber plate, washer, and the nut on top?

Yes, they should be there, you might be able to get them from either a nice board member, Bilstein, or a dismantler.

I have the upper dust covers on the front removed for added tire clearance.
My covers made nice RSR style muffler exits.

They just slid on loose and I would replace them, there sure is a lot of exposed hydraulic cylinder exposed if you don't.
