    How much extra vibration you guys feel with these poly bushings?

    Next to none to be honest and that is having the sway bar attached, as we all know, to the subframe that has poly inserts as well.

    Looks like I'm up against this job at 200k kms/2007 XC70. RHS bushing is completely disconnected from bar and bar rattles around.

    Any updates on this process or parts needed? Still Energy 9.5115?

    Haven't found anything that "officially fits" from parts suppliers!

    Of course, you won't as the OEM bushings are bonded to the bar and Volvo apparently sees no reason to allow people to go the inexpensive option. Just verify your bar diameter and match up accordingly with Energy Suspension universal sized bushes.

    Have fun,

    I just went ahead and ordered a new bar with attached bushings from the local dealer.

    Original one lasted nearly 200k, not sure I'll still be driving this car at 400.
