Rear sway/torsion bar bushings

Hi, It seems the rear sway bar has been discontinued - A2113202711. I can't find it in stock anywhere, and EPC doesn't show separate bushings.

Has anyone had luck finding and swapping the appropriate bushings for it? I am stocking up parts for a full bushing refresh of the rear suspension and subframe, but having trouble tracking this down.

On the front, I found aftermarket bushings which fit nicely, so I'm hoping the same can be figured out for the rear.

what are the front bushings you ended up using? rear's not aware of as the fronts are considered non replaceable bushings. rears likely as well, but been a while since i've looked at the sway bars.

I took a chance on these https://www.ebay.com/itm/395636998979 and they turned out to be a great fit.

At first glance they look too big, but that was compared to worn 20yo bushings. The notches lined up correctly, I replaced the holders as recommended in WIS, everything fit well.

I found out that for the 2005-2006 cars, the rear sway bar got thicker, from 19mm to 21mm. That newer part number is A2113202911.

But EPC doesn't show this as an updated part for the older car. I think I'll just buy the larger one!

Not to be picky, but my EPC shows that 211 320 29 11 is 20mm and 211 320 30 11 is 21mm.

Please be picky! I want accuracy wherever I can get it. Now the strange thing is that a search without a VIN, but just the "29" part number found both sizes. 276 and 277 are the E55 and E63 wagons.

Here are the parts list from my EPC for both the rear sway bar for 211.076 and 211.276 platforms:
