UCA Bushing?

So for the past few weeks I have noticed some vibration coming from the passenger side. This started when I swap out my rims to the Moabs. I took my KJ back to wonderful Discount Tire and they rebalanced and sure enough it was off...what a shocker! When I drove away it was better but still there. Today when I was coming in there was more squeeking from that side. I took a look and here are the pics.
Here is the drivers side UCA Bushing...

And the Passengers side...

My question for you is...on the passenger side it is super shinny. So I am thinking and I could be wrong...did my bushing go all to hell, out the left side(rear) and now it is rubbing against the bolt? If so...what is a better fix...install new bushings or upgrade to some of Al's A-arms? :BANANA:

Just tell your wife you need to replace your UCAs and the only option is the JBA 4.5s :wink:

you can see that the rear bushing has started to come out more to the rear so its going to need replacing
sending you a PM

We have a green light on latest upgrade! So, since the item won't be shipped out today (I am past the ship time for today) I will order them when I get home tonight. I figure I will probably get them on Tuesday? so I will be driving gingerly tonight, tomorrow and next week. Then the following weekend, Jan 8th I will be installing my new A arms.
Now my million dollar question...do you think it will be ok until then? I suppose since I drive 30 miles a day min I can give the KJ to my wife and drive the Rav, lol. She only has 4 miles a day that she drives. Although...she does drive like a Indy/baja racer...maybe I do need to just drive softly with it. :juggle:
