How bad is this bushing?
Found this front stabilizer bushing in bad shape yesterday while searching for the cause of a strange noise. Can I just leave it alone for now, or is this something that should be taken care of pronto?
The left side looks fine. These parts were just put in this past March, bums me out. It looks like the replacement work wouldnt be too hard, just dont have too much time on my hands right now.

Do yourself a favor and start spraying it with PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench now. It's probably gonna be a little reluctant to come out.
If you aren't hearing any clunks when you drive over bumps or rough pavement, then it's probably not an issue at all. I have that problem on my WRX right now...

I do have some noise, but not on that side. I'm not sure if it is still there, as my test drive lasted only a few dozen feet after I put it all together. The whole reason I was looking around was to find why I had the noise.
