This is not confirmed.

I posted about this the other day - I have done this with the engine in the car, it was not difficult.

Here are some more pictures of the two different p80 mounts , the tower displaced about 8-10mm front back and also set more to left closer to engine. ( all directions relative to car)

Also I got attacked by a Pair of Pileateds in the back yard,,,,,

So what you're saying is while comparing your lower engine mounts in the backyard some pecker woods attacked you?
Hmmm, did you get a police report?
Or are we to believe this was lower mount attack wasn't instigated in any way?
Yeah, that's what I thought!

Every time I see things like this I’m thankful I live in California. When I’m pumping gas, not so much.

In case anyone's wondering?
That was supposed to be funny

But anyways on a more serious note,, Didn't anyone notice a spacer under their right lower mount? My 1999 has about a 1/8 aluminum spacer clipped to it.
cheers gentlemen

I have seen a shim offered by Volvo for that mount. Can only think it may have been to overcome and axle alignment issue possibly?
