The video linked below will show you how to relace the front lower motor mount in the S70, V70 and 850's built prior to 2000.

If you feel a little vibration at idle and when pulling off from a stop the first 10 mph, you likely have a sagging or torn motor mount which is actually located under the crank behind the right front wheel assembly. If you do NOT have poly mounts installed, you'll find this mount collapsed or torn.

Another great one Robert!

If only it really only took 8 minutes and 40 seconds to get it done. :D

Nice vid (not sure about hubcaps though! :P). I used the other tutorial, and found this job to be easy despite my engine being rotated. Now she is nice and smooth at idle.
