FWIW, this is the bad bushing that I pulled off the driver's side mount. Yes, this is what it looked like when it was on my car; meaning, my removal did not make it worse by tugging on it, ripping it, etc. When you remove the brackets and drop the rack, the bushings are pretty much just sitting there. Now, the passenger side looked to be in very nice condition, but on closer inspection, there was one small crack in it as well. If you have ERA 759 or later, you don't have this type of setup.
