What is this? Normal? *56K beware*

What is the black tube/cover, where the arrow is pointing to, for?
This is my passenger side.






This is my driver side. The left side, where the arrows are pointing to, is sort of scrunched together. Is this ok?

Its just a boot to cover the shock as far as I can see - Maybe one has slipped?

The second picture shows how it's kind of scrunched together on one side.

Yeah, it's just a dust cover... Nothing to worry about.

Its probably one of two things. Either the rubber has deformed for what ever reason, or the top or bottom has been turned after the other end was put on.
My coil overs on my Integra did this when I was playing with my Teins.
