Might be top mount as said, I've had these go on my last cars - sounds terrible but was easy to fix (20 min job) and cheap.

Top mounts are great, I had a problem getting mine in the hole as it were.
I had to take it to a friends workshop where he but it in a Press.
once its there it'll never let you down,
word is there are lower front polly mounts about,
also polly mounts for the front lower wishbone : http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/default.php?cPath=28_23_38
