Hello all. I got a wild hair and decided to do radius arm bushings on my 1994 parts truck. It's been thumping and popping since I got it and was hoping I'd avoid damage but it's already done. Time for a new bracket. My question is, what about damage to the radius arm itself? Is it a concern? Here's some pictures:

Something to keep in mind, while this truck will likely be a parts & farm truck for a while, it's possible I might fix the transmission issues and go all in on making it a driver. That's why I'll replace the bracket but I'm not sure if the wear on the radius arm is enough of a safety concern.
