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.

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.

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?

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

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?
