Whew... had me worried for a second. I replaced upper and lower torque mount earlier this spring. Checked my order, all genuine Volvo parts.

Bought a Pro Parts engine mount (under crank) for a 1998 V70 afew months ago. It had been resprayed to hide the Scan Tech name. Quality is improving however rubber components are still garbage.

I live all the way down in Oz and bring a lot of parts in from Rexbo in Germany. They have lots of Febi and boxed INA timing sets. I pay around 1.5 times the Euro price as opposed to 1.3 times the USA price when converted. Still worth it though....
