Upper engine mount - again 850 1997

The tourque is 36 ft lbs. You are refering to the Top rear Bushing that secures the engine to the firewall right?

I just changed it on my car in about 10 minutes. Use a Hacksaw blade to cut out the old bushing and replace it with the 2pc. poly bushing.


FOR A DISCOUNT CAll 713-722-0505 (Volvo Parts Independant-ww.swedishparts.com) Ask for John and tell Him DAN Said to call. His price with tax is $20.55, IPD's price without tax is $27.00 U.S. He ships daily!

Use the following instuctions and it will be a breeze! Honest!

· Under the hood the bushing is located on the drivers side.It is pressed into the engine bracket and is bolted to the torque rod.

· Remove the torque rod by unbolting it from both the firewall mount and the engine mount.

· Now remove the existing bushing by either pressing with a bushing press or use an air hammer to gently hammer the old bushing out of the bracket.

you can also remove a hacksaw blade from the saw’s frame, insert the blade into the bushing, then reinstall the blade in the saw frame and remove a section of the original bushing plastic ring. Soapy water will help lubricate the blade through the rubber. The bushing can then be easily pushed out.

· Simply install each half of the new poly bushing onto either side of the engine bracket.

· The bushings are marked with an arrow to mark the rear of the bushing. The arrow points to the firewall of the car.

· Align the holes and slide the sleeve through the bushing halves.
Arrow Toward Firewall

· Install the original bracket and tighten the bolts to 36ft lbs.


Good Luck Dan
