Default TF upper control arm question

This is my upper control arm. The urethane bushing is starting to go out I think? What should I do?

Is it clunking at all? If it is then you will want to rebuild it. That just looks awful dirty.

if the bushing is done, it will clunk forsure, at least mine did when that happened... if it is blown you should be able to reach in and grab it and move it back and forth....then compare it with the other side, which shouldn't move....I had one go, all you need is the rebuild kit from TF. An easy fix

No it's solid tight. I tried to wiggle it and see if it was loose.....nope. But I know it won't last for long. What is a rebuild kit? And how much $? Does it just fix one? Or will this kit fix multiple?( I only need to fix one at the moment). It looks so dirty nasty cause I just greased it about 2,000 miles ago.....and I live on a dusty gravel road

Is this the kit? It says for a TJ 97-06 upper flex arm bushing repair kit. I'm sure this would be compatible with my 07 jk's upper flex arm right?
