Don't see how a shock that is soft on compression is going to "destroy" bushing faster than one that is stiff on comp. Also the bearing surface of the busing is cylindrical so which direction the force is coming from should not change it's wear pattern. Also a destroyed set of bushings in an old volvo is not a sign of a problem, these are normal wear items and need to be replaced once in awhile, like most rubber suspension bushings. Good thing about these is they are easy to do.
