How to test engine mounting 850

posted by  someone claiming to be V70BASEBOY on  Thu Aug 19 05:52 CST 2004 [RELATED]

The subframe mounts will leak as a sign of failure. The mount on the right (passenger) side down inside the wheel well (with the inner wheel well liner removed you can see it) will sag and allow metal (presumably the bottom of teh engine)to metal contact that will cause significant vibration.

Up top, the torque bushing (attached from the top left side of the engine to the firewall) will also fail. This will allow the engine to rock back and forth and will cause premature failure of the other mounts also.

There may be others, but these are the only one's I can describe.

Anyone else?
