Front suspension bushing

I'm pretty sure our 92 Bronco has a bad suspension bushing. It's the one from the arm that goes from the frame rail (at a point behind the lower arm) and attached to the front suspension. It has a "compression" bushing that I think it loose on the left suspension. It seems to make a bit of noise during braking and the bushing looks "opened up" (on the right sight it is much more compressed), like the bolt from behind has come loose. If this is indeed the problem, can the nut on the end of the arm be tightened up and away we go? The bushings themselves look okay.

Thanks,
Biederboat

You can try tightening it up, the torque for the nut is 80-120ft.lbs.

Thanks, it looks like this is the radius arm.
