This seems strange at this mileage. Are you sure? If it is ripped, go with the Volvo part, especially if it won't cost you anything. This piece is also part of the so-called crumple zone and is an integral part of the system that is designed to make your engine go under the car in case of head on collision. I am sure Volvo has tested it in many crash tests. Do you think the manufacturer of the IPD part has done as much? Anyway, even after the warranty expires, it is not impossible to replace this part yourself using a home-made tool to press the bushing into place. The tool consists of a long bolt with big washers on each side. You put the bolt through the bushing and crank the nut on the bolt to press the bushing in place. This has been developed, used and described by someone on this board, maybe they can re-post or just search the archives. I would do my best to stick with a Volvo part in this case (as in most cases, actually).

Cheers
