The car is jacked up right now with the wheel removed... Not sure if the joint straighens out with weight on it....?
 
If the bushing isn't torn out then its okay. That style of bushing is designed to provide flex in a range of motion like what you see here.
Bushing designed for strictly vertical movement are different.
Put the car level and check it for tearing and sogginess from being oil soaked, if neither its its probably okay although it could be slightly weakened from age which is normal and not necessarily shot.
