Default Bad Radius Arm Bushes - cracked or no?

Will bad radius arm bushings look cracked? Or can they cause clunking and still LOOK fine?

Thanks!

Hopefully not the ones you picked up from me. Never noticed a clunk and they were the last thing I replaced. I had some minor clunking that went away after new shocks and springs - the first this I replaced.

No, the bushings on mine look really good too!

No the issue is this:
My radius arm and trailing arm bushing "look good" no cracks or obvious failure -- so not sure if I should replace them (I DO have new bushings in hand!)

My watts link bushes are trashed -- visibly torn rubber boots (and I'm replacing them right now) -- Going to see if this is a source of the clunking.
Replacing the three center bushes and the two outers.
