Default do these lca bushings need to be replaced??

so i have massive wheel hops & for the time i thought i'd replace the bushings since a garage owner told me they are shot.

now i went ahead today went under the car and the bushings look same as new !!

once i saw the "condition" of those bushings they don't really seem to need to be replaced. i reinstalled the lca and tightened it superly.

from the pics i myself would say they're fine but i'm no expert & the wheel hops state there's an issue somewhere...

what do you guys think? oh & i will get lca's phb bla bla bla but thats not gonna happen anytime soon.

If you are getting wheel hop, and questioning replacing the bushings, might as well spend the $64.00 and get some good arms.

You can pick up a tube of poly caulk at a home improvement store for 5 bucks and fill the holes and it will work great. Been running mine for years like that.
