Those are shot , see those tiny lines they are stress cracks that once put on the car and you apply pressure open right up .
They are good for a daizen bushing swap to make it quicker.

Just 1 crack means it is no longer good as it cannot keep your alignment under thrust .

Thanks for the info. I think mines are cracked like those that's why it's making noise in those small roads in the resident areas. You think so?

well i disagree with you . if the center of the bushing separates from the outer rim than yes car won't keep the alignment. but this bushings are in place , those are only surface cracks that's come with age , just like tires cracks with age.

Its nice that you disagree with me but i don't see what your using as a point to debate the facts. So let me school you on a few things.
A bushing is meant to allow movement that is not wanted to a component then return it to its original position.
Now if you have a crack it can no longer keep that axis that its purpose is for . So it is now a few degrees off center and cannot return to its static position as it is dynamically in motion with thrust from forward motion ,acceleration or braking provide the same rearward thrust on the bushing.
Using a bushing with hairline cracks is like using a bald tire with freying edges . They both will work and not totally shot but will not perform as they should.

I'm interested in these if you haven't sold them yet. I can pay asap. Also, what condition are the control arms in? Are they the upper control arms, if so can you post some pix of those? I have a few extra busing kits laying around that I press in spare control arms on my spare time when I'm bored lol.

Please PM me your paypal and I can have the money sent over asap. Thanks!
