Visual inspection: Are these bushing in bad shape?
Please check photos. Slight cracks..
If they are usable, how many more miles should I go with them on?
or should I buy a new set ASAP.
Thank you!

Thanks for the input! If more people suggest, I may place an order for them tonight!Are yours for sale? Or just stating you put the ISF ones on..?

Looks like normal wear and use to me. Unless they are cracked all the way thru and spinning loose inside, these look normal for age of vehicle. Cars in harsh winter climates probably drive around with worse.

I agree. Those are just surface cracks. Leave them on. Wait until they get much bigger or you start to hear anything if you want to get as much out of them as you can.

Personally I'm in the process of replacing most of my bushings and ball joints. 10 year old rubber in Canadian weather isn't doing the longevity of them any favors. If it's not giving you any weird symptoms like creaks or pops and there's no play, then I would leave it

On a 10-year-old car with 91k miles they look like they should. Unless the crack goes all the way thru the bushing--considering that you have not described having any problems--, I would leave them alone.

Ive just changed mine with stiffer oem ones (prob same as ones from member above).
See my post here:in Australian forum.

Good video link to showing flex in soft ones.
Easy to change out and ride feel is much better.

My 11-year old 2IS has only 75K kilometers.
As cracks were developing on my bushing, I have them just replaced with stiffer ones too.
The mechanic told me that the bushing is fluid-filled, similar to the structure of fluid-filled engine mount.
