The '98 V70R I just picked up requires at least one of these on the left front side at 235K miles. I doubt mine is 20mm. There would be quite afew aftermarket alternatives in different sizes I would imagine.

Use of sharp woodworking chisels would probably do the trick in removal of the vulcanised rubber on the original bar....would be a bear of a job though......

Found these on ebay for 20mm bars: http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/251608596083?nav=SEARCH

I've heard that poly bushings require periodic grease or they become noisy. Try to get something with a nipple

Greatly exaggerated scuttlebutt. Proper application of the proper type of lube (silicone-based grease) during installation will keep poly bushings quiet for years. I have some going on 15 years without a squeak.
