Could this be my mystery grinding/vibration?

Had a mystery vibration/grinding sound for couple weeks. Never consistent when it would occur and never could find the reason for it.
About 2 miles from the house it came and only went away when I drove under 30mph. Called the whole family to join me in the search under my 1985 Bronco. My wife said that rubber thing is broken....here is what I found at the end of the passenger side radius arm. Fresh metal was on arm and body mount.
Do you agree this could be the culprit? Replacement comes in tomorrow and should know for certain.

Probably. It's the rear radius arm bushing isn't it?

Sounds like it's time to replace all your bushings :D
 
Yep, rear arm bushing. Put the new one in and the grinding did not go away. Next is wheel bearing and u joint inspection and possible replacement, then replace all the bushingso_O
