Subframe mounts

I'm planning to replace all 5 engine mounts next week, and was planning to do the subframe mounts as well.
It is for my '97 850 Wagon.

Hard hard is it to replace the subframe mounts? What I could find is that there are 3 of them, two in the front, one in the back.

I could not find much information on them when searching on this forum.

Unless the mounts have failed on the subframe, most unusual, I would leave them alone. Ditto for the engine mounts; normally the top and front mounts fail, not the larger round mounts.

Did anybody use this insert kit from IPD:

I was just at the dealer having the sub frame lowered for a trans gasket repair. I used that as an opportunity to do my IPD sway bars I have been wanting and the sub frame bushings. The dealer said no way he would do the sib frame bushings. They wren't bad at almost 200k and tech he said they almost never fail.

All I can say it was a world of difference with the sway bars and the replacing of bad motor mount.
