Hard to tell about the bushing in the first picture, it kinda looks OK. The end-link in the 1st picture looks OK too.

But in the first picture, between the end-link & the shock-fork, you see the end of the radius rod bolted onto the lower control arm. Follow that radius rod forward to the other end; it's fastened to the frame somehow. Look for worn bushings at that location.

Ball joint in the 2nd picture has a torn boot. Unless you can prove to yourself that it just tore an hour ago, I'd replace the balljoint.

The anti-roll bar bushing in the 3rd picture looks just a bit worn, there's a gap between the rubber & the bar. But I'm not sure if it's bad enough. Grab the bar & try to shake it.

You're also missing a bolt to the wheel sensor but I'll guess there is enough rust and that in their that it isn't going to come out.

Thank you for coming back with "the answer". Too many of these threads go to a dead end, meaning we or the next person that does a search never knows what happened.

I've got a date with upper control arms on one of my Accords coming soon......left/driver side is gone....might as well do both while I'm there.

When you said it was the control arm and ball joint were you talking about the upper or lower? I have the exact same issue and have replaced my upper control arms, upper ball joints, sway bar links, sway bar bushings, and tie rods. I have had the lower ball joints checked and they were solid with no play, I have been debating on trying the CV axle next or the lower control arm.
