my control arm bushings looked like that when i replaced them. They look fine but the rubber is worn.

If the car is on a lift grab the bottom of the wheel and try to pull it away from the car. Have someone do this and at the same time watch the bushing connecting to the car. There shouldnt be too much movement.
