“The local Volvo dealer quoted me $100 per mount. Volvo Parts Online misidentified the part; originally they quoted me $24.95 which I thought was too good to be true. It was. That price was for the old solid rubber mounts. The correct hydraulic mounts were $70 each. Economy prevailed and I decided to try the ever popular Uro mounts for $32 each.
Here’s what you need to do this job:
- jack stands or ramps
- floor jack
- miscellaneous wood to elevate the jack
- chocks or other means to block your wheels
- a good block of wood with a groove to allow clearance for the oil drain plug
- a six-point socket set, preferably half-inch drive, with a universal and as
- many extensions as you have
- box end wrenches, preferably six-point
- a bench mounted vise
- safety glasses
- a light
- anti-seize
- PB Blaster penetrating oil
I assume no liability for any damage or injury arising out of your attempt to do this job. If you doubt your abilities, bring the job to a professional mechanic.
Safely situate the car on ramps. Place into Park. Chock the rear wheels.
The engine/transmission is supported by the transmission mount and by two hydraulic engine mounts. Each engine mount is secured to a bracket with three 13 mm fasteners. The engine mount secures the engine with a 15 mm fastener.
Although similar, left and right amounts are not exactly symmetrical. The driver-side mount bracket is secured by 3 studs on the top of the frame rail. However, the passenger-side mount bracket is secured by two studs on top of the frame rail, and a bolt accessible from under the car. Also, the passenger-side mount requires the removal of the exhaust manifold heater hose bracket, which is affixed with four rusty bolts.”
