Re. Panhard bars and poly bushings ? 140-160

What the heck is a PANHARD BAR ? Is this the rear suspension cross brace that runs from one side of the axle to the frame on the other side?

I've searched this site on "poly bushings" and in ten pages of links, none were related to 140-160s. It doesn't seem like the search engine bothers to search the archives! After poking around a bit here's what I found:

IPD only offers some 140 bushings in poly from what I can tell.
www.mvpvolvo.com doesn't have any bushings for 140.
SwedishEngineering has not responded to my query from several days ago.

http://www.bac.com.au/app_list.html (Australia) has many but not all 140 bushings in poly. I did not notice a link for a US distributor.

www.kgtrimning.com (Sweden?) seems to have most if not all of 'em. These folks are most likely to get my order.

Anyone have any experience or suggestions on poly bushings for a 140? Are there any differences to watch out for in bushings for 142-144 vs 145?

Thanks,
Al

On the 122 the same poly bushings are used on the panard bar (sway brace)
as on the upper A-frames. IPD has them and they are 2-piece bushings.
