A picture is worth a thousand words here..

Sounds like it might be a radius rod installed by the Ambulance builder to help combat axle wrap under hard acceleration. There was a member that used to make a version for the Excursions to cure their weak factory rear springs that will wrap up when the go pedal is mashed. Try contacting the body builder (if they are still around) for info or parts. If you are just trying to replace some worn bushings you might want to try contacting Energy Suspension with the sizes and dimensions of what you need, they most likely will have some poly bushings to fit the application.
Are they something like this? Just with bushings in place of the heim joints?
