Default Front suspenssion

Hi,

First of all English is my second language so please excuse me for any mistakes I make.

I own Chevy Venture 1998, and yesterday after taking a look at brake pads, I noticed some interesting thing on front suspension (not sure what is name of this car part) and it doesn't seem OK to me.

Can you please take a look at it and say is that OK/Not OK - what is a parts name that needs to be changed if any?

Here are few pictures:




Thank you!

I'd say you need probably a set of front end bushings, if that one is that bad, be prepared to replace them all. Your english ok

How bad it is on scale of 10, and what damage it can cause if they are not changed in next month or so?

And the main question how hard it is to change them?

Thanks!

Cost I don't know, damage, probably just to what you posted. I would however since that bushing is worn as it is (driver side will wear more) I'd go ahead and do the whole thing. You should be ok with not replacing unless you drive it alot within a month or so. You might give it a look under to see if anything else is that shape. I'd also recommend poly bushings instead of rubber if you are going to keep the car. PS they are not hard to change
