issue with front right motor mount fitment Topic is solved

[RickHaleParker]

I noticed there are different versions of the other mounts and the torque rod. I suspect it is a matter of getting together a set that work well together.

Thanks for putting those part numbers in - that will help the next guy searching for those.

[amblerman]

I got the right part and it fits like a glove. Thanks for all the replies.

I have exact the same problem but with my 1999 C70-I CV.
The middle part is reversed.

I am now trying to repair the old one with special glue. Hope it holds.

seeing as someone else has bumped a 4 year old I want to jump on this as well. I am running into the same issue. After ordering 2 mounts from FCP on their recommendation for the correct part, still don't have the right mount. I purchased the Rein mount 2 times now. Again, based off of FCPs suggestion. Both look identical except the color. But they do have different part numbers and oddly enough they are not the same price.

From looking at pictures, Volvo 9480189 looks like the correct one. Reason I didn't buy that one to begin with is because of how expensive it was. Is there an aftermarket solution for this that is cheaper. If not I understand I have to just bite the bullet and get it but ouch. It's $100 more than the Rein. At least from FCP.

When you see the one off part number in Volvo that’s expensive, we just order it and it will be sure to be correct



On a tight time job, I’ve ordered both and matched to the removed part. I’ll end up buying another nautic blue Volvo which takes the leftover part, eventually , anyway

Yeah, the only fitment for the RN motors in the P80's is the more expensive part number (the -189, IIRC). Had to bite the bullet when we did the RN swap in the wife's 97 GLT.

That’s what it looks like. Thanks guys. At least with the second incorrect one FCP is footing the bill for the return shipping. Mine doesn’t appear to be bad once I pulled it out. I was only replacing it because I assumed at 175k miles it needed it and since I’m overhauling most everything else. But since it’s proving to be so expensive I’ll just let it ride until it actually is bad.

The difference between the three right-lower-mounts is the compound the mount is made from. A mount will have a paint marking, white, blue or orange. The bolt pattern is identical to all three part numbers. The only thing the OP had to do was lift the right end of the engine using a long prybar between the subframe and edge of engine pan and then using a short prybar or large flat screwdriver, manipulate the mount into position. I ran into to this practically every time I had a subframe out or when replacing an engine, not a big deal. Having the vehicle on a lift one would use a block of wood and a screwjack to lift the right end of the engine and then pry the engine whichever way it needs to go to line up the mount. Again, any of those part numbers would have fit as far as bolt pattern is concerned.

I'm the OP and in my particular situation, I was trying to fit a motor mount from an 1998 parts car onto a 1999 daily driver.
Or more specifically I was trying to fit a mount that came from a chassis number lower than 566268 onto a car with a chassis greater than 566268. I needed a different style mount for a chassis 566268 and higher. There seems to be a part difference change after chassis 566268.

You also said: "The difference between the three right-lower-mounts is the compound the mount is made from. A mount will have a paint marking, white, blue or orange. Again, any of those part numbers would have fit as far as bolt pattern is concerned."

This is correct. However, the initial part I tried (and didn't fit ) was NOT one of the following part numbers:
9480189 white
9470544 blue
9470547 orange.

In my case the part I initially tried (and didn't fit) was off an older donor car that was a different part number. On first casual glance they looked "the same" but when I tried to use the older, inappropriate part, it didn't fit at all and no amount of moving the engine would have worked.

When I ordered the correct part for my car (9480189) it was clear the new part and the older donor part were physically quite different with respect to the angle of part of the mount that sticks up vertically and how the bolt holes lined up. It wasn't a matter of just jacking up the engine as this job was done as part of a frame replacement due to an accident. The engine was already suspended with an engine support and I had a lot of adjustment I could play with. Many things changed between a 1998 and the bastards 99/00 cars and apparently this engine mount was one of them.. I just wish I had taken a picture of the two parts side by side to illustrate the difference.

But you are correct.
I could have ordered any of the following parts (I ordered the white one apparently) would have fit my 99 with a chassis above 566268.
9480189 white
9470544 blue
9470547 orange.

My initial fitment issue was just due to trying to use an older and inappropriate part.
Once I got the right part it fit perfects on the first try.
