Cool thanks Landseer. They're probably used on the V8 S80 sedan or probably the XC90 SUV. Good to know it works w/ our cars. Another good option.

I am in Magnolia, just at the corner of the Woodlands, there is also another 928 person in Conroe, and one I have not yet met in Cypress, as well as another in the Woodlands I have not met, so there are a few of us about. I have a set of MM on order for my car, ordered them from Roger Friday, so I am about to learn how to do a set, or maybe how not to. Drop me a note if you want to compare notes. Both Mike (928 in Conroe) as well as me, do a bit of wrenching on our own cars...and we know enough to be dangerous....but we work for beer....

Yes, they are liquid filled I think.

And they are not from Volvo V8 engine, but 4cyl turbo.

Ask Roger for further details & very competitive price.

What has changed? Do I need to return the V8 Volvo mounts?

tommi nylund

I don´t know how Volvo´s V8 mounts compare to inline-4. Volvo inline-4 mount is the one Roger sell...

I went to Pep boys bought mine, I think ford F250 MM. $39 each. It has been 1 year only 2000 miles, they still look the same. Lifted the motor a lot, in fact just enough to shut the hood.

Ok so what is the diferent on the Volvo one the Ford and any other one all your been using or better what will be the best to used

SeanR

Ford mounts quality went to crap due to the manufacturer moving operations from India to China. No quality control at all now.

Volvo mounts are made of better stuff, whereas with the Fords, you won't know if you are getting solids/hydraulics/hydraulics that sound like solids but don't have any filling.

Jim M.

Below are pictures of both the Porsche mount, 1st and the Volvo mount 2nd. Both were filled with an oil/water/antifreeze mixture, both have an air chamber seperated by the center membrane. The Porsche mount had smaller holes than the Volvo mount but in use there does not appear to be any difference in performance. Both have almost the exact same dimensions. The locating pin on the Volvo unit is larger, but that's it.

Now, do you want to pay over $300.00 each for the Porsche mount or $93.00 for both mounts from 928s-R-Us? Then again you have a third choice; you can gamble and order the Ford mounts from lots of places. But you may get a solid mount with just 30% of the normal rubber that collapses as soon as you lower the engine, or a hydraulic mount with no fluid in it that also collapses right away or a hydraulic mount with fluid. It's a crap shoot what you get, because they all come under the same P/N. Some are made in China others are made in India. All are a crap shoot. Even with a lift, pneumatic tools and helpful friends this is a big and dirty job. Do you want to do it twice?

Andy E.

Jim, do the OEM's slosh when shaken or stirred?

Jim M.

Sorry Andy, I don't know the answer to that one. Roger gave me the factory mount to cut in half before the issue of the poor quality Anchor/Ford mounts came up. Never shook it at the time, in fact I never shook the Volvo mount before I cut it in half. All I can attest to is the liquid that came out of both was thin, with an oil type base (slick between your fingers) and smoked and smelled like hell from the heat of my band saw.

Ok i having problem with the motor mounts i got from Roger can't get that POS on the car i been trying for thew last 3 days and no getting any where they look to high for the Porsche are this need to be force in like using a jack under need to push the MM frame support? or what? or I'm not knowing what i doing..This should not be that hard or have to fight with this...Are this MM original???? or from other car trying to be fit on the 928???
(I'm about to return it and get Original if they are not?)

Thank you

Jerry Feather

Are you following any of the instructions posted here and elsewhere on how to do this repair? Have you lifted the engine, and how are you holding it up?
