I after perusing the archives, I am probably not going to use the IPD mount/bar because of possible vibration.

Has anyone used the FCP Groton part? What are your experiences with it?

Anyone know the cost of the stock part? Can it be obtained somewhere else other than at a dealer?

Any installation recommendations? Looks pretty straightforward except for installing (ie. pushing in) a new rubber stock bushing....


Thanks all,

Jim

    "Anyone know the cost of the stock part? Can it be obtained somewhere else other than at a dealer?" I don't understand. Why not call or visit a Volvo dealer and get a price there? And why not buy the piece there?

      BG -

      I understand, it's called an overreaction.

      I was simply asking some questions to obtain more information because I have not yet decided what to do....


      Have a positive, pleasant day,

      Jim

    I have a poly bushing on my V70 and like it.
    The OEM aren't that expensive, just make sure it says "volvo" on the drivers side. They are directional and you don't want to put it in backwards.

        The previous owner did it. I feel no difference between my 850T which has OEM and the V70 which has the poly mount.

        If you use the OEM, make sure it says Volvo on the drivers side. These mounts are directional, do not put them on backwards.
