I only see URO available, was hoping to find something a little more longer lasting, like MOOG or something - suggestions?
2) When I install, does it matter if I have car on ramps or just jack up a side?
Thanks

    I went through this as well since the end links are considerably different. I found nothing better purpose built for the Volvo.

    We just put generic Poly bushing from Autozone on our race car (non-Volvo) for rear sway bar that was never intended for that vehicle. I am about 99% sure the same $15 kit of bushings would work on my 1993 940.

      NEVER use poly bushings,,They will break the links if you hit a hard bump...NApa has very good stout links & bushings kits..

        I know a lot of folks including me, who use them with no problems.

          He might be refereeing to the particularly fragile nature of those end links for the AL control ares (they are pretty tiny) but I tend to agree with you. since they are not the lollipop style links I cannot see how having the firm bushing will lead to them breaking on the first big bump.
