It could also be any joint coupled to the movement/control of the wheels, so you have to physically check it out.

Hi
The photo shows what is left of the disintegrated bump stop which is fitted to the shock-absorber shaft, it is a rubber/foam material which when the car bottoms out cushions the travel to stop the shockasorber from bottoming out hard and making a noise.
Yes replace the Shock-absorber as you can see oil leaking out in the photo and make sure they come with new bump stops, one on each side of the car.

Hi, Yes on most cars no problem just undo the nut on top of the shock and lower bolt to remove the shock and the damaged part pulls of the shaft.
You will have to check with your parts guy for availability.
