Ok i got the car up on the hoist but i was told the car needs to be on the ground to check cause the suspension has tobe loaded, true?

Anyways i took pics, this is as close as i could get, very tight space and i had to put a light right next to it.

Didnt see any rubber touching against the metal but it has rust.
Rust on bushing instantly means replacement right?

Im wondering if itll be easier to replace just the bushing or buy another knuckle, put new bushings on and bolt on. Mech said would be much quicker to get new knuckle cause it bolts right on. But then you would have to replace all 3 bushings with new ones.

Or i could just leave it and say **** it, but then im worried itll be a safety issue down the road and cause more damage and maybe elsewhere.

Not necessarily. First pic is blurry, can't really tell whats going on there. From the second pic the bushing looks fine. If it isn't squeaking just leave it alone.
