240 LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS- What Brand to buy?!! 200

Hi,
I replaced the bushings in the rear of my 240 (torque rod, etc) approx.two years ago. Now, about 20,000 miles later, they are falling apart! These were aftermarket bushings. I have not seen this happen before. The original Volvo bushings were in the car when I bought it, and the car was at almost 300,000 miles. Amazing. Now I have to replace those bushings, and I also need to replace the front lower control arm bushings. I know that the polyurethane are recommended for the torque rod bushings, but has anyone found a good brand for the rest of the bushings, other than Volvo? OR, should I just spring for the Volvo name?
Thanks for any input!
Mike
