2000 V70 SE non-turbo, AW55, 200K miles,

The top motor mount swapped out fairly easy, very straightforward operation.

I have access to a lift. Are the bottom two mounts good candidates for a DIY job?

Btw, what is the proper nomenclature for the bottom mounts -- I understand that one of them is is "hydraulic?"

Thanks, Robert

    Update,

    Had the car up on a lift today, looking over the underside in preparation for changing the transmission torque mount and lower right front engine mount. The rear hydraulic motor mount had streaks of dried fluid below it; I am guessing this means the mount's internal fluid has leaked out? No other signs of damage.

    The forward mount, under the crank, is quite easy to replace. Remember, the engine has to be lifted 1/2 inch to do this.
    The donut mounts behind the bumper are not that difficult, there is even a you tube on it.

      Thank you, that helps. There's also a 'transmission torque mount' that I see, and that doesn't look too difficult to replace either.

        I understand the tranny and the hydraulic mounts rarely go. My car has 233k and only the top and the front (below the crankshaft) mounts have needed replacement.
