Re: Engine Stabilizer Mount Toast at 26k! S70 99

Mike,

Do not use the after-market part! The V70/S70 series are noted for 'road feel'(vibration in the steering wheel). The stiffer IPD part really amplifies the 'road feel'.

When you examine the linkage from the mount to the firewall you will see that it is tied to a cast aluminum piece protruding through the firewall. Unfortuantely the steering hardware interfaces with this same aluminum piece behind the firewall. So now you will experience 'road feel' as well as a big dose of engine vibration and harmonics.

When I get to 70K miles, I am going to have the OEM part installed during the 70K service.
