Poly bushings.
Surprised you go through them so fast though. I was on my originals up to a few years ago, and the poly replacements have been holding up fine

For a fox? Doubt you'll find a set. They mount by passing through the lower arm, so unsure how you'd get a spherical link there
I find out why you are using them up.
Got some pics?
Spherical end links are race stuff and don't do well on the street, dirt mud, constant movement of everyday driving will accelerate wear.
Factory setups last for over 100k miles, sounds like you have a problem that needs to be addressed.
Think about it like this, you can't inflate a tire with a hole in it by putting say nitrogen in it only thinking nitrogen is better than air, you have to fix the hole.

I have replaced factory links on three fox bodies and a Cutlass with Moog poly bushings and their new hardware. On all three foxes, at least one factory bolt was bent. The Moog cadmium plated hardware has not bent, and even holds up to my GM A body with a giant lump of cast iron Olds motor twisting the Addco sway bar.
As far as why the rubber bushings would be trashed, the Cougar had a bend sway bar, I think from poor towing. The others bars were fine.
