Polyurethane Firewall Bushing Kit-IPD Pricing

Post by SimLyons »

Did anyone notice that the "kit" from IPD for this has gone up from $25 to $40, .... like overnight? I was on the website yesterday to see about stock and pricing and it was $24.99. There were about 34 units in stock. Today there is one unit and the price really took a huge hit up to $39.99!

I checked FCPGroton and their version was listed at $39.99 but was discounted to $28.99. Still high! Anyone know of better deals? (For my friend...mine already has the poly moints). Does Volvo stll cover this failure (They did for a long time...not sure about now)

Eww polyurethane.

One word for ya: vibration. I hate it.

It is easy to install, though!

Yeah...not nice. But surprisingly my 850R has no (additional) noticeable vibration since installing them. It's been several years. Keeping fingers crossed that it stays that way. I think she'll bite the bullet. At least the labor (mine) is free.
