How do my trailing arm bushings look? Need to be replaced yet?

It looks like one side is worn down to nothing on both trailing arms, but I'm not sure. Please advise.

They don't look too bad to me. They are supposed to look that way, there is only a lip on one side. I went through the trouble of replacing mine, only to find out the old ones weren't that bad. It's kind of a PITA too.

Only real way to tell if these are worn is by getting a pry-bar in there and levering this way and that, See if there is any excessive movement more in one direction than another. The rubber of these is pretty hard, and lasts reasonably well The pictures show bushes is a fair to good state, but only a test like above will tel for sure...
