Mystery sway bar bushings 900

This is taking more trouble than it deserves.
I have a 23mm sway bar on the 97 960. Despite giving the VIN #, it comes up as having a 21mm bar at the dealer!
More by accident than design, I have discovered that rubber bushing # 1273615 will fit 22/23mm bars.
I would like to fit poly bushing. Superpro SPF1025-23K seem to fit but it looks like these will have to be shipped from Australia by Energy Suspensions.
Does anyone know of more local poly bushings that will fit?
Dan

did you find the bushings you wanted, or were searching for?
Rockauto.com has a good source of bushings and suspension products.

Hello,

The IPD kit for 23mm sway bar (for turbo models too).

Thanks guys.
I will fit the Volvo rubber bushings and see how long they last.
In the interval I may get the IPD set up. The long bracket and bushing look right for the job.
Greasable brackets with a Zerk fitting (from Energy Suspensions) seem attractive but these look like they are not "long" enough and I would have to fabricate a spacer, possibly from aluminum stock.

Although the greasable option sounds nice, I wouldn't bother. Applying some teflon grease to the bushing before installation is more than sufficient for regular use. If you were doing a lot of offroading in extreme conditions, maybe the greasables would save you 10 minutes when regeasing but under regular conditions I doubt regreasing would be necessary more than once every few years.

I have had IPD 23mm poly bushings on my 940T for the past 10 years and they still look new. I regreased them once (they did not it). It took 15 minutes to drop the sway bar, apply the grease and reinstall.
