The mount on those top 3 pictures is fine. When those mounts start going bad they tear the rubber between the top "V" shaped metal plate, and that bottom "W" shaped metal plate. That suspension arm in the last picture is completely trashed. That is so bad it's a safety concern. Get a new one before it falls off!

The suspension arm is one unit, you can't replace that one bad round bushing you see there.

People in ebay sells only the bushing
