The ones on my T5 were gone at 115K. You could see the rubber had cracked through and they moved pretty easily.
If you can move it with your hand, I think that's too much. On a ball joint check, or on a tire rotation, I don't feel them move at all. I would go ahead and replace them. And stick with genuine parts - I've heard that the aftermarket parts have poor durability.
I would also look at the cost - I got new control arms for about $115 from one of the on line parts places. Bushings would have been about $50 for both, and the dealer wanted $60 to press them in (while I have access to a hydraulic press, they aren't as simple as other bushings I've pressed in...). At that price, it made sense to just get the new arms.
Big improvement in steering feel and tracking after the replacement. I didn't know how bad it had gotten because the degradation was so gradual.
