How do you know if the control bushings need to be replaced? What are the things to look at?

Some of the symptoms of a faulty control arm bushing include cracks on the boots or clunking on the front suspension. The best bet is to simply visually look at them. Its easy to see a worn bushing, its just a bunch of rubber so if the rubber is all deteriorated and half is missing then it needs replaced.

Does anyone have the schematic for a 2000 neon, I am trying to ID all the control arm components, the sway bar components, and trailing arm. Need new bushings but not sure of all the components.
Thanks
