Yes, and like I said, I know I have a bad spring seat/strut mount. But the lower right engine mount colapses on itself. It won't matter at what speed, there will be metal to metal contact over bumps of any degree.
I have added enlarged images .
Once again, Good luck.

The old mount on the right is colapsed and visibly shorter.

Is that an OE Volvo mount? It looks real close where as mine from FCP looked so different that until it was installed it didn't look even close.

WOW, Perfect description for a totally collapsed engine mount!

I think I got that from IPD last summer. I don't recall if it was OEM, but it was designated for a '93 850 and looks to be an exact duplicate. I've seen them look different, but I was pleased to see the part I recieved looked the same.
