Control arm bush scrap?

It's impossible to tell from a pic, you need to get a pry bar on it and see what happens.

100% the bush is scrap, the rubber has completely come away from the bush. Whether the arm is scrap depends on whether the bush can be bought separately or not.

The photos are poor...yes.

If in any doubt, replace them. And yes often it is a lot easier just to replace the arm, especially if you dont have the tools to remove the bushes, which can often be a nightmare

And definitely buy good quality replacements, some are bloody woeful.

It's very possible to tell from a pic. That's dead as a dead thing.
