It's not a problem. The upper control arm bushes are fine. I got these checked along with all of the front end bushes and pins etc. The only thing I've needed to have replaced is the link pins in the front but that was last year.
I've had the discs in the front skimmed and new pads installed as they were stuffed and the rear discs actually didn't need skimming, plus the rear pads are fine for at least another 10K or so, they aren't on the limit, it just looks like they are low.
I'm not sure on the specific type of bendix model pads being used. I did ask when they were replaced from the original brembo pads and discs that could they use a dustless pad.

Thanks for getting back to me
