Good to know - I didn't realize there was such a difference with the cheap mounts. I'll keep that in mind.

I agree with Klaus on the CV boot thing too. If you've already got a rip you might as well do the whole axle. The water/air/dirt/etc will already have caused enough damage in there that you should just go all the way and get that thing out of there in favour of new parts.

You could save yourself some money on the other side and replace only the boot. It is a messy job and basically the same amount of work as swapping in a new axle as you have to remove the old axle to do the boot... I chose to do the boots on my V70 because I got it before the boots ripped - they just looked old so I did them. It wasn't too tough, but it would have been a long day if I wasn't pulling the suspension apart for something else (replacing lower control arm).

Still, do yourself a favour and junk the axle with the torn boot.
