1998 volvo v70xc awd and v7pfwd torque strut moint differences

[Switchemlee]

Hey im in a jam here... they stopped making transmission torque strut mount for my vehicle.. apparently the 1998 volvo v70 awd models have different transmission torque mounts. Is thst true? I cant find anything online for it only for fwd models. Could i use a fwd model one? Are they the same mount? Please help every place has back orders. Fcp, Eeuro,rm euro,ipd everywhere..

They are now obsolete for the AWD models. There are a few places I have seen that may supply polybushes to replace the failed rubber ones, but to date I have not found one that is 100% sure they fit the AWD set up. The positioning of the lower torque rod is different on a FWD and AWD. I think I recall precopster posting that he had used one from a P2 model and had to file out the mounting holes slightly to make it fit. Maybe try PM'ing him and hopefully he can recall what he used.

I was just browsing IPD sale info and came across this. Price is ridiculous even on sale, but it would fix your issue unless you can get a good used one at a junkyard.

What a pain i dint get why they still make the fwd ones but not the awd

It is probably down to volume of vehicles made. Many AWD parts at the rear are now obsoleted or really hard to find, especially for the "R' model.

The repair part I listed should work. Try PM'ing precopster as I know he used the later part from aP2 with a little filing of the hole, but I cannot remember what it was he used.
