Well, I learned something here: IRS vs swing-axel :: sway bar vs camber compensator.  I never had that sorted.  My car is IRS so at least I know what I have: a sway bar.  Works great.  As to bushings, I have a note to add.  The polyurethane ones (often red) sounded like a good thing.  Turns out: nuh-uh. They are stiffer, so maybe more responsive, if that is even an issue. I dunno.  But I do know that stiffer can mean brittle, either after a while (lots of flexing, or just age.) And so the ones I have in back  crumbled, as it looks like yours did.  The better material is neoprene rubber, so I recommend that to those who might need.  I got some that work at my local Do-It-Best hardware store.  Seems to work fine.20210527_16493620210527_16501220230106_191049.
