Suspension noise 850 1997

My '97 850 has a clunking noise on the right front when I go over large bumps/speed bumps. I have replaced the end links and the noise is still there. I have inspected everything closely and find no looseness. However, I think the noise is coming from the sway bar frame bushings. There is very small clearance between the steel housing and the sway bar. I am thinking that large bumbs are compressing the rubber and allowing metal to metal contact. The catch is that Volvo, in all their wisdom, has made these bushings inseparable from the sway bar in later model 850s. Does anyone know of an aftermarket kit to replace these bushings, even though they would have to be cut off of the bar? (by the way, the noise goes away completely when both end links are disconnected from the bar.)
