Brad850 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Anyone running these? http://www.ipdusa.com/products/6305/112765-hd-front-subframe-bushing I'm contemplating buying yother/kaplhenke delrin bushings, (which is better?) but I'm wondering about the added vibration. How bad is it? I have no plans of tracking the car and I want it to be comfortable, so the IPD hd's sound like they might be a nice compromise.

vmzoller Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I have them. In combination with my Koni STR.Ts and iPd Blues I think they add a nice bit of absorption to road bumps. Added vibration? I wouldn't say they do at all, not like the poly engine mounts that definitely add some vibration you can feel in the cabin. NVM. Thought you were talking about the inserts not the bushings themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadnhm Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I have these in my 1998 V70 AWD. I don't feel any appreciable difference in NVH. I think they stiffen the feel up a bit. I'm sure they'll last a long time due to the poly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin. Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 ha, I posted about these too I'm gonna get the Kaplhenke ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjflexer Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Kevin, what makes you want to get the Kaplhenke mounts over the C.J. Yother mounts? Just curious. I've been planning on getting Yother's mount soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piston Slapper Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Hm... IPD makes solid subframe mounts? I don't see anything on their site besides OE style and inserts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aequitas_Veritas Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I am 99% sure hes just refferring to the inserts vs the CJ/Ben full replacement style I have CJs bushings and they really didnt add much/any extra vibration to the rest of the car. And I have ALL poly mounts, they were one of the less noticeable ones I swapped. I also have coilovers spun down low so its as bad as volvos get and I still DD it no problem.

Brad850 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 nope.. it's called HD subframe mount "made from stiffer rubber compound" http://www.ipdusa.com/products/6305/112765-hd-front-subframe-bushing So the vibration from solid mounts isn't too bad huh? Probably even less so when I do my manual swap and the car isn't always stopped in drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piston Slapper Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Oh. Those. Yeah, not really 'HD' or an IPD product... they're just XC90 scantech bushings, FCP has them too. http://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-suspension-subframe-mount-bushing-front-xc90-8678497 Wouldn't really make a difference vs new stock ones and getting them from IPD is definitely not worth it.

Brad850 Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Cool thanks. Just hoping I don't regret solid mounts now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@iPd Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Interestingly enough, those are factory bushings and not an aftermarket brand. They are the firmer HD version use in the XC90 as well as an upgraded unit used in the fleet vehicles like the taxis and police cars used abroad.

I'm well aware of what they are, they're also standard on diesel P2 models. The ones that come in scantech packaging for that part number are OEM, same material, same casting marks, etc, they just don't come in Volvo packaging. They're 100% identical to what you're selling for twice the price. You of all people should know that OEM doesn't mean Volvo, it means whatever manufacturer Volvo buys them from and they don't sell exclusively to Volvo.

When it comes to rubber molded products, just because it looks the same doesn't mean it is the same. Volvo has certain QC standards and materials requirements that aftermarket brands like scantech don't.... so even if they use the same tooling and same molding equipment does not mean they will get the same product if the process and compounds are different.

Piston Slapper Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 It's not like Volvo made a batch and then sold scantech the tooling and they made a crappy version... they're from the same production runs, just not marked up as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me give you a hint, Volvo doesn't make any of them. Stuff like that is always subcontracted in the automotive industry to specialty suppliers.
