They weren't terrible. The bushings were in decent shape. Didn't notice any crazy cracking or tearing. The ball joint/swivel joint was definitely looser than the new one. But again, nothing crazy. I'm guessing these don't typically cause anyone noise/NVH problems and is why they almost never get serviced. I am of the mindset that when I am in there... it's all getting done. I'm still wishing I would have done the sway bar bushings even though they looked fine.
