Re: bushes 39 front panhard
Ford did not use a Panhard Bar on the front of any Early V8. You are using the wrong terminology, the bar used on the front suspension is a stabilizer bar used to control/minimize body roll on turns. Ford started to use this type of bar on the '40 Delux cars, and all '41 and later. If your '39 Merc has one it could be after-market or a special application for export only.
A Panhard/Sway/Tracking Bar is a devise that is securely attached to the frame and suspension, to maintain alignment of the components. Generally on coil spring suspensions. A bar that has movable links is not a sway bar, however, many people commonly refer to this type of bar as a sway bar. C & G Early Ford Parts (760-740-2400) (www.cgfordparts.com) shows the parts for the '40-41 Stabilizer bars on page 48, section 6 and the complete assembly on page 49, section 6. I have a stabilizer bar on the front of my '36, 41 front axle w/2" drop and a sway bar on the rear, '47-48 Columbia.

Re: bushes 39 front panhard
Think Ford refers to it as a Track Bar.

If it really is a panhard bar I've used tube shock rubber bushings (lower ring type )

Re: bushes 39 front panhard
it is a panhard rod as one end attaches to the front axle and the other attaches to the chassis , A roll bar mounts to the chassis at either side and attaches to the front axle at each end via the spring perches ford didnt introduce this till mid 40 and removed the need for the panhard rod by mounting the bar with heavy flanged bearings to take the lateral load thanks to JSeery didnt think of trying track bar
