Default source for rubber 32mm bushings for rear sway bar or other suggestions

I have the older 32mm corksport rear sway bar that's been eating thru poly bushings like there's no tomorrow - replacing the last 2 sets after a few months. It appears that there may be a bit of rust on the bar so it's wearing those out quicker. Anyway, it was suggested to go with the rubber ones instead but I am having trouble locating rubber in 32mm size. Moog straight up said they don't make those in that size and doubt anyone else does. Any leads and/or suggestions (short of polishing away the rust off the bar with sandpaper)?

thanks!

Just fix the problem and stop trowing bushings at it. Sand the rust, hit it with Krylon, and install new lubed polys.
