850 t5 top engine mount bush

[p0xy]

I have like a rumbling noise up to about 60mph and after that it goes off, had a look today and found my engine mount bush split.. could that be the problem? Also i may as well stick a poly one on, wheres the cheapest and quickest place to get one from???

the one you've linked to is for the newer P3 cars, you want this one LINK (http://www.partsforvolvosonline.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=27&products_id=2288) but they do include noise on idle

tbh from what you've discribed i wouldn't say thats your problem

[p0xy]

its just what i saw everythin else seems fine... think itll be a trip to the garage for it 0

[p0xy]

Undo the bolt throught the bush holding the mounting bar, grab rubber with pliers, and rip out the rubber, then cut through the old bush outer with a hacksaw blade.

Can't comment about refitting an OEM bush, as I fitted a poly one.

i had pollys for my old mk2 xr it had full polly bushs 60mm drop 185/50/13 yoko tyres could take my round about at 60 just starting to understeer but it was a ford and all started to fall apart, would of made a wickid track car but the bushes didnt like being used everyday (but saying that it was 25years old)

Don't think the op's symptoms stem from a borked top mount. The usual sign is a "thunk" when you let out the clutch/ reverse etc.

For the massive reduction in ball-ache quotient I've always gone with powerflex too.
Never cut out an old one, always used a 150mm length of scaffold pole as a drift to knock it out. Just tap around the outer edge of the old one.
A hand trick when fitting a polyurethane one is to use the top i/c hose jubilee clip, place it about 6mm in from the inner edge of the bushing and compress slightly.
Makes things way easier.

well got the part today and fitted it.. still the same noise, took passenger side wheel off today and i can move my brake disc so gonna have a look at that tomorrow

the bearings are special & sure there all part the hub so you just change the lot, i know the bearing itself cost me £100

[p0xy]

aye its all one or somethin :/.... itll have to wait though till i get the money to buy one lol... will it do any more damage using the car?

[Shortbusdriver1969]

I got my polly one from RT Mecs who are on this site, very good too
but A bitch to fit LoL

[skirmish998]

removed old ones with the rip the rubber guts out of the middle technique but then took an old but sharp chisel to the outer edge and split/cracked it in several places and it came out within half hour. getting the Poly in though was a right git. i finally went with the large washers and ruddy long nut and bolt to pull/press the two bits together. Makes a ruddy lovely growl when getting on the power some find it a bit intrusive but i likes it!

[p0xy]

well it took about an hour to fit.. the old one came straight out :D... only problem was, one half went in ok but the other half was a b1tch to get in lol..

I found that, I love it, can't wait to change the bulkhead bush, and the gearbox mount for polys

[skirmish998]

one side is a breeze to fit. the hole is tapered on one side to make life a real pain in the ass! hence the large washers and nut/bolt combo. If anyone wants the use of or the site wants them so others can get the benefit and i'll send them on to next person if anyone is interested. we can just post on to the next in line. just an idea!

[Volvostorm]

I trimmed the edges of the poly bush to make a slight taper, it did help when fitting.

i can't get the old tie-rod mount out to change mine, got them sat on the computer desk. Got the bulkhead done with the newer style bracket

Why am I thinking I should have bought a poly bush n not an OEM one to fit to my 850, I can see much swearing going on for this one lol

some people actually don't like the Polybushes, say they are too noisey & intrusive

Noisy and intrusive is good though IMO...I love that sound!

noisy is always good lol

[JelT5]

Good man :D

[gareth]

Yep I love the more defined sound (That's what the Mrs was told!) Produced by the PowerFlex bushing!
The trick installing these is to compress them slightly with a Jubilee clip when fitting. It makes it waaaay easier to install.

[Crazy_C]

I don't mind the sound, I mean I love the sound of the engine with the cone filter on there, and I wanna get her decatted too. Just meant being a pain to get the OEM one in, if the poly ones can be a bit of a pain LOL

[madhouse]

interesting thread, my latest purchase has purple Polybush inserts on the top mount. Had it pointed out to me on another forum after posting a pic of the engine bay. Another point that was raised on 'my' engine bay was it looks to have a fuel pressure regulator added to the fuel rail. Any thoughts or comment guys please?? Heres the pic:

Sorry for slight hijack. but i want to remove my polybush and go to OEM, is it hard?

Thanks

[Crazy_C]

I think this thread got hijacked a while back away from the original thread LOL

I dunno, looks to me to be a bit of a pain getting the OEM bush in, but I've not tried yet to be honest. Sure with enough WD40 it'll be alright to get in.

[madhouse]

In what way is the Polybush noisey please?

[p fandango]

because the mount is stiffer it transmits more of the engine noise & vibration thru the bulkhead which you notice in the cabin
