Motor mounts-replace or leave alone? 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Mark on  Wed Nov 2 03:37 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Have a '90 760 Turbo Wagon, 107K, with the hydraulic motor mounts. I recently replaced the transmission mount because of lots of vibration and rumbling at idle and while accelerating. That mount was completely shot. With new one in, all the vibration and noise is gone. In the FAQ's it is recommended to replace the motor mounts at the same time as the tranny mount. Visually, the mounts look OK to me. The clearance between the bottom of the engine and the rubber stop on the crossmember is eyeballed at 1/2" to 3/4", which is as it's supposed to be according to the FAQ's. The mounts have a Volvo sticker on them, so I'm guessing they are original.

So I'm wondering whether I should leave these alone and wait until there is an obvious failure, or just go ahead and do it. Comments?
