Question Does this look like a bad bushing?

Just looked at my front wheel well because i keep hearing weird sounds when i go over bumps, like a metal rattle/knocking. I looked at the bushing connecting the swing arm(is that how you call it lol) and the bushing looks weird.
Is it toasted?

Jack your front wheels up. Grab the wheel at 12 and 6 and give it a wobble. If there's more than a 1/4in. of play either way, think ball joints. Do the same with your hands at 3 and 9. If more than a 1/4in. of play, think tie rod ends.
