What is this?

[Geo_Tactical]

I've been getting a grinding sort of sound from the front suspension when compressed, and a light clunk when accelerating from a stop. I haven't been able to figure out where it's coming from, but aftermarket upper arms were recently serviced and didn't correct the issue. Looking under my truck today I noticed that the bushing (or whatever) that is part of the lower arm connection towards the wheel was covered in oil/grease and I don't remember it being that way previously. Can someone answer for me whether that's normal, and if not, what part it is I need to replace?

Looks like the lower balljoint not sure if it comes with control arm or not.
