The washers are available from Volvo, part number 1359606. They'll cost more than those bushes.
Bolts are 985055.

Just my tuppenth- The rear bushes on that control arm are normally pretty good. My 300,000 miler had her spaceship bushes changed not so long ago for the MOT. All was good with the rear bush.
Point of advice, If you want a longer lasting bush, Take the arm that those bushes fit into, out, And hammer hell out of the mating face for the bush. Chip as much rust as you can out as possible and wire brush it up good. Don't wire brush the rust, You'll only polish up the crust of it. You need to hit and chip the rust off. A 2 inch wire wheel on a battery drill will help immensely. |

The rear bush on the arm I took off did look fine but as I said the one on the other side looks to be twisted in the housing so I will replace them both so I know they are sorted. The rear bushes have arrived from Mark but I am now looking to invest in a bearing/bush pull/push kit to make life easy, it can also be used on my Jag and my friends cars so will be a worthwhile investment. Good point about the rust, when I do the bushes I will get the arms in a vice and give them a good clean up.

Something else i've done to help fitting, particularly with things like wheel bearings is put the bearing (or in your case the bush) in the freezer overnight, put the housing part in the oven at 180C ish for an hour or so and usually the bearing just drops into place. All depends on whether Mrs Besidetheseaside would let you do that of course!

Used the hot cold method on the Jag recently when I did the fulcrum bearings, put the outer race in the freezer and warmed the rear hub up with a blowtorch, it makes the job so much easier |

I can see it could be interpreted in two different ways and i might be proved wrong but on the front/outer end of the tie rod where the spaceship goes, you're fitting new washers and a new bolt so shouldn't be a problem there. When he points out that the spaceship bushes needed changing for the MoT but the rear (or inner depending on how you view it) bush was ok, that points towards it being where the tie rod attaches to the chassis. The reason i suggested the oven is because it gives a more even heat but some bits you can't get in there or would be prohibitive to remove, hence the blowtorch.
