I've been the owner of this 98' v70 xc with 185xxx miles for about two years now. Bought 'er cheap due to a salvaged title, but cosmetically its in great condition and it still runs strong (when the parts aren't blowing up -___-). Slowly trying to get 'er back into tip top shape...
Anyway, my current trouble is with the torque mount. The front bushing was shot, and I just got done replacing it. Had some two piece all rubber bushing (I hadn't even come across during my research of what kind of bushing to buy) and I replaced it with an OEM bushing I purchased from my local Volvo shop. Installed it using the compression tool described in this thread (https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/replac ... shing.html) which worked great until it was looking like I was about to pull my washer through the pipe flange hole.
Took apart the compression tool, and found that my bushing was completely flush on the passenger side. However, on the driver side, it was sticking out. Probably a 1/16 of an inch before the beveled edge starts.
Is this gonna cause me problems down the road? What other options do I have for sliding that sum'bich in place? I tried tapping it a bit with a rubber mallet with no luck, and since the sun had set 30 minutes earlier I called it a day. No problems when I started it up, about to take it for a test drive....
Edit: Took a photo of it for reference.
