Tried to search didn't see anything similar so can someone tell me if this is what happens when they go bad ? Or is it normal? Or is the control arm trash?


The hole is almost oval and you can see through it . I've never seen a gap like that on any other bushings

 

I think your control arm is trash. It should be a nice circle shape, lol. Did you hit something hard recently?

 

Damn. I was thinking that was the case. I haven't hit anything. I just picked this car up and was doing some rust repair.

 

100% junk. Someone smacked something hard. Be sure to check tie rods and the subframe for damage as well.

 

you can buy used control arms on ebay
