Upper Torque Mount Bushing, Brands?

98 S70
Just noticed my original upper torque mount bushing is torn. I've been searching for an OE replacement but find only the aftermarket polyurethane bushings being offered. I suspect the Volvo OE bushing is discontinued, am I correct? The polyurethane bushing, as I've read, create vibration into the cabin, which I'd like to avoid. Can someone recommend an alternative? I've seen Hutchison and Delrin mentioned. I have a 98 S70 and a 96 850, so I anticipate that I'll need to replace both.

Just saw a couple OE style options on FCP the other day. I had a poly mount from IPD in my S70. I don't think it made vibrations that bad. But you will really know when you have a misfire. I personally wouldn't hesitate to use Meyle HD. Not like it's a horrible job or an expensive part to have to do again in a few years. Lemforder was OE, but FCP lists it as discontinued.

One of my cars is going to need one. I noticed awhile back that one of them is starting to brake down. Glad to see this thread .
