replacing sway bar bushings

I had a friend at Advance Auto who really went out of his way to help. Their info just says rare part but he did some research and found them. I don't know where they came from, they were shipped and came in an Advance Box. Now he has transfered to a new store out of state and the new manager goes by the book. If it says they don't have it then thats it. I miss the old manager.
