Nice car you have!
Earlier this month, while digging for some info for parts, came across that some original Volvo parts are made/supplied by ZF AG, which is the manufacturer for Lemforder, Boge and Sachs.
Here is their online part catalog:

Keep up the good work, less for me to do when the polestar arrives
Well the car is now on the ramp getting the anti roll bars fitted.i did mod the bush brackets so it's easy to grease them as ipd say remove them every 6 months to lube them up (Just as well they don't say every 6k miles ).
Fronts are red so nipple is at 11 o'clock to clear the bulkhead
Rears are blue only used angled nipple as I had to remove the threaded part that went through the bracket. on a in line nipple the spring is held in by the crimp on the end of the thread.
Also looking at the inside of the bush there are voids to hold the grease so this should help to stop the squeaking.

I'm told that the arb's are a worthwhile mod, I'd like to do them on mine someday.
Good idea to add grease nipples, smart thinking.
Thank you sir..
The only thing I have to get is the green grease in a tube to fit a grease gun ,found a firm that sells it for £17 but they want £20 p&p so that's on my to get list , the guy fitting them says he's never seen grease as messy at this stuff except 5th wheel grease.
Harvey, let us know about how these sways will work out for you. The US SS forum highly recommend these as must have.
During weekend check, discovered the front ones are shot on my one. Unfortunately, I can't go with IPD or Elevate due to budget and time frame limit, so I had to order the 'stock' front sway bar from Skandix.de

Well just drove home with them fitted and the difference is like night and day ,the car handles so much better , much more precise ,more like a go cart.
The A road bit was just magic, motorway bit no change ,but I can feel the difference at low speeds on a rough road but that's it.
The guy that fitted them didn't even remove the wheels said it's quite a easy job 3 hours with a tea break half way through.
Grease nipples very easy to get too.
Also had fitted the subframe inserts at the same time, Rude not too.
