hi guys,
I need to replace all of my engine mounts for my 2004 XC90 2.5T AWD. I need your input as which way I should go, the dealer have quoted me the following (parts only) my independent shop will replace them:
From Volvo Dealer:
Front mount and rear mount are the same #23 &41 are $100.88 each
Right mount #15 $100.88
Torque rod #33 $61.90
And upper mount #9 $40.24
Total: $404 + $85 (Shipping )

And then I found RockAuto.com, they are not original volvo parts but cheaper.
REAR UPPER $42.79
Front & Rear $69.79
OEM Hydraulic; Front Left $69.79
OEM Hydraulic; Front Right $69.79
Total: $322.00 + 35 (shipping to Canada)

Any experience with RockAuto? are their parts any good?

Please let me know. Thanks

I can't answer your question. But why do you need to replace all motor mounts? Sounds like they are taking you for a ride.

oh I don't go to the dealer for that, but its a good practice that you replace all mounts at the same time since you are down there anyway, because they all age at the same time and if you replace only 2 or 3 today you will for sure replace the others later on because they are all of the same age. You will end up paying for labor twice and it will end up costing you more...
