what is this bushing called? 
It's uh, not supposed to look like that is it? What exactly is (or was) that bushing called? I can't seem to find the correct part name to look up a polyurethane replacement.
It is a part of the tie rod end. If you car feels a bit loose, replace them.
They are only about 50 Bucks and will make a hell of a difference, but you will need an alignment after wards.

Thanks for the replies guys.
There's a little bit of play on the steering wheel. I can wiggle the steering wheel back and forth about an 1/2 an inch and it won't do a thing before the wheels start turning. I'll replace both outer tie rod ends, and then get an alignment at a shop.
I've been reading up on steering system and I think i'll flush the fluid while I'm at it.
I also seem to be having a "popping" sound from my front right wheel when I make wide left turns. I'll do the ball joint test and see if I need to replace those as well. From what I've read, there seems to be a lot more work/tools involved with replacing those.
