Front lower contol arm bushings blown?

Made it out to the garage and cut into one of the front bushing with a razor knife, no liquid came out. Also dug around in the knife cut with a screw driver trying to further tear the bushing. Still no fluid.

I have no idea what the black residue in the OP was but it would appear it wasn't liquid filling from the bushing.

Oh wow, the black residue is what was confusing me as well... So you actually replaced what you suspected as shot bushings, but it wasnt actually shot.

what about your rear bushings on the front arm? Did those leak on you?
