Front Suspension Bushing Replacement S90-V90 1998

The rear bushings in my front lower control arms are in need of replacement, which is apparently not unusual for a 100K-mile car. I'd like to find out if a more durable bushing is available. I've checked IPD, FCP Groton and a couple other Volvo parts suppliers on the web, but none of them seems to list anything other than stock bushings. Are higher-durometer rubber or urethane bushings available for V90's?

Also, should I consider replacing any other front suspension bushings at the same time? I see that FCP Groton supplies complete lower control arms with new (presumably stock) bushings already pressed in for what looks like a reasonable price. Are the strut bushings, sway bar bushings, etc. as prone to failure as the front lower control arm rear bushings?

My rear suspension bushings seem to be in good shape, thank goodness.

Thanks for any help or advice.
