67 Bug Rear Sway bar Bushings?

I bought a 67 swingaxle beetle a few years ago and just now getting it on the road. After rebuilding the front sway bar i moved to the back suspension and noticed a sway bar and the bushings that go on either side of the rod that connects to the suspension are mostly missing from being so worn out. I gather from searches that the rear sway bar didnt come factory but was added later. This brings me to my issue. I can find the whole rear sway bar kit but i cannot seem to find replacement bushing for them from any of the major vw parts sites ive checked. I dont really want to spend the money for a completely new setup when all i need is the bushings. Id prefer polyurathane is possible. Any help is appreciated.

if you are referrring to the that sway bar that is right behind the shocks with vertical bars that is stock for 67/68 beetles it is not aftermarket. It is refrerred to a "z bar" stabilizer bar and they do sell the bushing kits.

That what u looking for?
Just do a search for that part no 111598001 and shop around

Also found one one ebay if ur a "ebayer" for $48 shipped

And it is an overload spring, not a sway bar.

if u look at wolfsburg west site you will see each piece called out seperately in exploded diagram picture under "rear axle"..........there is 7 pcs per side for your reference you can just buy the complete z bar bushing 14pc kit. And yes KTphil is correct it is a overload bar for the torsions
