Console bush is the front suspension wishbone to subframe mounting at the rear of each wishbone. Early bushes had large voids and allowed too much wishbone movement and the bushes split after a couple of years in most cases. Revised part is much stronger.

Yes, check the wishbone rear spigot is central relative to the console metal housing. If it's off to one side the bush has failed.
