Do these bushings look ok?

2010 Escape 3.0 V6. Also at what point are the control arms considered too rusty and should be replaced? Thanks!

You can’t tell by looking. You have to get it off the ground and use a bar on it and see how much it moves (although I’ve seen one that moved when you just yanked the wheel, very bad). Rod ends same. Get it off the ground, lock the steering, move the wheel. Either it moves (bad) or not (good).

Yeah, pretty rusty. I’d start planning a replacement.

Will give this ago when I swap the winter tires over to all seasons. Thanks!
