How to tell if engine mounts end of life? S70 1998

Do you have the IPD stabilizer bars, too? Reason I ask is that I do, with their poly bushings, and my Volvo dealer replaced end links, a strut and some other components (fortunately under warranty) before discovering the aftermarket bars and declaring that the poly bushings needed replacement. So I took the car back to the installer who just lubricated the bushings and they are usually OK for another 6 months between applications of lubricant. From comments on other non-Volvo boards about poly bushings it seems that they quite often need lubrication to quiet them down.

I also think there are some reports of harshness, noise, vibration etc associated with the IPD torque arm bushing (try the "archives" above). That's why I went with the Volvo OEM bushing.

FWIW (possibly zip!)
