OEM Engine mounts or is there a better option?

OWF · Mar 21st, 2019, 20:50

Thinking I should replace the front and rear engine mounts and maybe the torque rod as well. I have replaced the upper mount already.

Have taken a look and seen the genuine Volvo parts but thought I would ask to see if there are any other manufactures which are equally as good and maybe cheaper?

Any recommendations or advice would be great,

Thanks.

I found the genuine ones were only a couple of quid more than the reproduction version.

Supposedly Lemförder is often the OEM supplier for several parts. And when I couldn't find a Lemförder part when doing my engine mounts, I ordered a Huchinson. And that too clearly had the text "Volvo" ground off (still partly legible).

Do note that you won't hear me confirm that the same rubber is used! But the aluminium parts were imho from the official Volvo* moulds.

* or whatever subcontractor makes these specific parts.

Both Corteco and Lemforder seemed well made, presumably both OEM supplier to volvo. No problems so far.
Best price from Autodoc.
