I'm trying to figure out what options I have for my upper engine torque rod bushing. It seems there is a fair bit of misinformation floating around, and even IPD and FCP Groton are confused to some degree.

I have a 1999 V70 with this square style mount.



To the best of my knowledge, 98 and earlier Volvos have this style mount:



It also appears that some 99's, and 2000 and up Volvos have this style mount:



Now, as best as I can tell, the 2000 style aluminum mount with round bushing can bolt onto my 99, essentially converting it from a square bushing to a round. The reason I ask, is because IPD sells the two piece poly bushings for the 98 style round bushing and the 2000 style round bushing, but they don't sell any replacements for the square style.

If I want a rubber replacement for the square style, FCP does sell them, but only the entire assembly, including a brand new housing. I also found this poly bushing on FCP that looks like it is for a square housing, but they say it only works on a '98.

So the question is, will the square poly also work on my 99? Was there only one style square bushing? Or is my only option to buy an entire assembly of the square style?
