Broken Top Engine Retainer


8501995

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I changed my front sway bar this morning (which went pretty good!) and realized that the top (anti-vibration) engine mount is broken. (I might have broken it when I lowered the subframe!) The rubber part inside is broken in two parts. I guess it's not that bad, but I should change it.

Can anyone tell me what is the part number for that? I figure I'd have to remove the mount that's bolted on the engine (reaches way down, could be hard to reach!) and then remove the rubber part and replace it...

Here are some pictures:

It's a Volvo 850 1995 GLE

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Found it on IPD http://www.ipdusa.com/ProductsCat.aspx?Cat...4720&RootID=629

26$US is a bit expensive for what I use the car for I guess.

Can I just change the rubber part with the original Volvo part?

I got a quote to replace my aftermarket mount from my dealer when I took my car in for the fule tank and seat heater recalls for $160 installed. check out from www.fcpgroton.com. They have them for a bit cheaper. It does transmit a bit more vibration to the steering wheel but will last forever. Takes about 15 minutes to install.

Hey.  This happens to all of the 850/70 series cars eventually.  You'll be MUCH better off replacing it with the IPD or EST polyurethane mount.  It won't wear out ever.

Eventually?! Darn, mine has broken every service interval! I bought and IPD Poly-mount which was cheaper to ship from the US than buy the OEM mount here. Agents here were impressed with it!
