Front Upper Strut Mount - P1 S40 V50 C30 C70
Genuine Volvo 30681546 - 124385
Product Description
Potential Product Fitment Issues
IPD has investigated premature failures of the upper strut mount on P1 models and found that the primary reason for this is that the strut is bottoming out and hammering the mount. This should not happen during normal operation of the car on normal roads.
If your strut breaks through this mount and hits your hood, then the strut is bottoming out.
This is guaranteed to happen on lowered cars if the strut is not replaced with a strut that is designed for lowered vehicles.
We have also seen some stock style replacement struts from that do not allow enough travel and bottom out during normal operation of the vehicle on normal roads.
The strut mounts should not be used with coilovers. A solid "pillowball" style of strut mount should be used with coilovers.

Many may not know this but Volvo in Latin roughly translates to "to roll". The company was founded back in 1927 by Assar Gabrielsson and Gustaf Larsson as a spin-off from ball-bearing manufacturer SKF. While the Volvo logo looks like the biology symbol for male, it's really the Swedish symbol for Iron. With a nod to its heritage in alloys, Volvo chose a logo that depicted a ring bisecting at one o’clock. Today Volvo is known around the world as one of the most iconic brands known for safety, longevity, and its enthusiast following.
