Volvo C70 1998-2005 » Engine Mounts & Subframe Bushings

Love the new mount. Car starts w/o shaking and driving is incredible smooth. Mine was shot so install took 2 hrs. but the mount install took 20 mins

Installed on my 1995 850 GLT 5-speed.
Had to replace the old mount because it had broken and fallen out! Engine feels like it has more power, a big difference from the old mount (and no mount at all!) Had a few problems getting the mount completely in, but once it got bolted on I had no problems. Love the color!!

Great improvement - installs easily!

Great part, and easy to install. Getting the old (OEM) one out is another story. Forget the idea you will hammer that thing out, you will have nothing but bruised knuckles. Quickest way is to go straight to the hacksaw. First, use a pair of side cutters to clip the center attach point, then take the hacksaw blade and cut in two places (not into the metal), near to top works best. Grab a big screwdriver, and hammer between the two cuts to relieve the interference fit. Did not see any great performance increase, but had lost of fun doing it.

After reading a few of the "vibration" complaints and the warning from iPd, I went ahead and decided to order the 2B1880 mount for my C70 vert (manual) because I didn't want to install the junkie rubber OE ones from Volvo. Installation was easy and WOW, what a difference! I can feel the extra power from the lack of engine movement... and I have yet to experience any additional vibration.

The small bushing needs to be raplaced but didn't know it till I got it apart. Was disappointed with the large poly bushings. They seem to be too large for the bracket. The angled flanges extend past the sides of the bracket and the metal sleeve does not reach fully from one side to the other. Also found the diameter of the bushings made it difficult to press them in.Took longer than statedin the write up, and definitely need to get the smaller one replaced. Usually have great results with IPD, but this one was not as advertised.

ipd customer service response: There are several brands of this mount out there. they are all very similar but we cannot guarantee our product will fit every one of them. It does however fit the OEM mount.

We highly recomment replaceing the entire mount with 8K0140 which has a solid rubber smaller bushing.

Just installed this today on my 5-speed NA 850. engine is very solid, barely any movement and much more torque! It really growls in the low revs, and response has improved. haven't noticed any vibration, maybe it's more noticeable with the auto trans. The original mount popped out with lots of hammering, sawing, and PB blaster.

Not too hot on the color, wish it were more discreet.

I mounted this on my '95 855 wagon - it's a 2.5 10V non-turbo that has run about 240.000 km.
The difference is incredible.
I took out the original part, and that was clearly shot - apparently this little thing slips past even Volvo's own service shops - it was in 1500 km ago.
Put this new one in, took me about an hour because the old one was firmly stuck, but it was an easy install.

There is more vibration now, especially idling at a stop, but that kind of only underlines the increase in power that's running from the engine. Noticeable increase in power, smoother shifting, smoother (and quicker) accelleration.

This thing is HIGHLY recommended!

Installed on my '03 V70 with 47k miles. Noticeably better throttle response from a stop, at the cost of some additional vibration. To be expected relacing soft rubber with poly bushings. The whole mount is sturdier than the OEM part, just replace the whole thing... Will look into other replacement poly bushings though IPD in the future.

Easy to install, and worth every penny. Yes, there will be a slight increase in NVH. That is part of the comprimise; either swap out OE rubber mounts once a year and have an interior free from engine NVH, or replace those mounts one time with poly mounts and deal with a little NVH in the interior. I'll take the latter option.
