Corrections - This article should be called the "lower passenger side engine mount". The "lower passenger side (right) engine mount" is a simple rubber bumper and rather easy to replace.

The actual lower "front engine mount" on the V70 is hydraulic. The actual lower "front engine mount" replacement procedure is quite different from the "lower passenger side engine mount" and much more complicated. Access to the lower front hydraulic mount is highly obstructed by the starter bendix and other frufrafra, as is the lower rear hydraulic mount.

"Front" means the front of the car, not the end of the engine opposite from the transmission!! Get used to it!
