1997 Volvo 850 - Engine Pad at 130,000 miles

Post by xHeart »

All engine and transmission mounts were replaced within past 18 months. Joy of driving is returning at each take.

Next, working on front and rear engine pad - buffers subframe. I have new Hutchinson (OEM) for front installed yesterday. Meanwhile here is how the original looks after 16yr/5mo with 130,000 miles on it.

Nice close-ups. It looks like the original pad is about 4 in / 100mm tall. Out of curiosity what was the height of the new pad?
1997 855 GLT (Light Pressure Turbo) still going strong. Previous: 1986 240 GL rusted out in '06, 1985 Saab 900T rusted out in '95, 1975 Saab 99 rusted out in '95, 1973 Saab 99 rusted out in '94
