Sway Bar Bushings

[Japedo]

My 01 XC needs new sway bar bushings. Im aware that volvo wants to sell the whole bar with bushings for 200ish dollars.
Also that IPD sells a HD unit.

Does anyone know of a aftermarket bushing of sorts that will work? I checked my local NAPA auto parts but they only had end links listed.
I figure if I get an old one out, I should be able to find something that will work. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with this or has any additional info.

Thanks

Nope!
You're SOL with the Volvo bar design.
Buy a set of IPD bars and enjoy MUCH better handling at the same time [thumbup]

Thats to bad that they arn't replaceable. They look like normal sway bar bushing's, just mounted upside down. But I haven't tried to remove them or anything, so maybe there is more to it then that.
Ive put alot of money into the XC this fall, so I kind of hate to buy new sway bars when just the bushings are bad. It's kind of like getting new rims every time the tires wear out:D
But if volvo designed it like that to screw me, then it worked:D

Maybe I could talk santa into some of those IPD bars. lol

Thanks JRL,
