On mine I could only see that the exposed Rubber was a little rotted looking; other than that they looked normal. So in my case just looking at them I could not tell.
The Lower Control Arms and the Upper Control Arms actually pivot on the elasticity of the Rubber. When I removed the LCA Bushings it looked like the solid Rubber had shear internally.
