Lower control arm bushings bad? (Pictures)
I was changing my lower ball joints and decided to check the bushings to see if they were the new solid type which it seems they are with part #2113331114. Still they look somewhat worn, would you say these bushings need replacement?
Thnx for your input.

I'm not an expert when it comes to the W211 but I have changed control arms, those dont look shot. Usually when they're shot all of the bushing is cut through

On the new style bushings its normally not the Control Arm Bushing that goes, but the ball joint. I bought my lower control arm w/ball joint from Ebay for $75 made from a Taiwanese company... I know I'm going to get flak for that but its been 30,000 miles and they make my car handle BETTER than new.
