    They are possibly split, not a big problem, just get new rubbers and fit them when you get time- no rush on this one.

    rubber bush on swaybar

    The easiest rubber bush to fix on any vehicle,

    But is that a crack in the chassis above the bush if it is I'd be more worried about that.

    From the looks of your springs, your running high ride height. This combined with heavy articulation of the axle and soft bushes will make the swaybar twist and move sideways, popping the bush. Its no biggie and is the easiest bush to fix.
    Its not split as such, they have a slice in them to push them onto the bar and use the 'U' bracket to compress it against the swaybar.
    Sway bars are an onroad thing to control bodyroll when cornering and they do restrict axle articulation offroad. If you use it onroad more than off, replace with something like Nolathane poly bushes.
    If you go offroad quite often, I think there are kits around that allow you to temporarily disconnect the bar without having to remove it and give you back those diff angles Landies are famous for.

    Thats not a split ,its just where the 2 halves of the chassis overlap.
