poly bushing

The 2 front anti-roll bar mounting bushes are a PITA to reach, the most difficult to replace IMO, but surely worth the hassle.

Beside the powerflex bushes, a polyurethane engine torque mount has been developed by Elevate, normal price is 119$ but there's a group buy being organized for the price of 95$/mount, this offer lasts until the end of July, more on the Elevate facebook page here> Elevate engine torque mount FB

I'll be measuring the one on my 2.0D and then ask Don whether it will fit, but a highly doubt it...

The one on the right is the improved mount from Elevate, the one on the left is the original OEM T5 mount....

The 2.0D mount looks like this>

There is a genuine Volvo/Ford mount that is the very best replacement for the original ST/small T5 item that is now incorprated in new Ford and Volvo vehicles.

It was first used in the Focus RS installation but now supercedes the earlier standard ones for ST/T5.

It locates the engine just as well as any aftermarket offering, costs less and transmits less noise.

Regards, Don.
