the track bar bushings will not be wollowed out, the mounts on your axle and frame might be. the bushing themselves might be worn out and/or tearing and you should be able to see this if this is the case once you have it pulled off. as mentioned, you should also be sure to give all the welds on your mounts a careful once over. even if you do not see any cracks or tears, they still can be failing and you can see this in the form of a rust coloring next to the seams.
