Are suspension rubber bushes worn out when age cracked around edge or only if they have slop? 200 1979

My 32 year old 244 at 551,0000km (334,000 miles) is squeaking from the chassis so I took it to a shop and the guy said some suspension rubber bushes have only "age cracks" around the edge so they are OK. Others have no age cracks. He said that bushes are replaced only when there is so much rubber worn off them that they have slop that is easily seen. Mine did not have slop. Which is correct?

Can Volvo OEM suspension bushes last for 32 years and 334,000 miles?
