Replacing rear shocks on '06 V70. Should upper shock mounts automatically get replaced. Outside of being torn (mine are not) why would they be replaced. Rubber pliabilty ?
Thanks all. G.G.

Re: '06 V70 upper shock mounts
I don't think it's needed for the rear ones. Rarely heard of them going bad (the front ones however do). A few tips if you need www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7gsgr9YWy4

I ordered a set a number of years ago. Removed the old ones which looked perfect and returned the new set as unneeded.
If they look fine keep what you have.

Re: '06 V70 upper shock mounts
Were your dampers leaking oil?
Or are you doing this to improve the ride in the rear of the car?
I've replaced several rear & front coil springs (they rust & crack over time), but never had a rear damper that was leaking. To me, if it ain't leaking, I don't mess with it.

If it’s under an hour job I would re use those parts.
