My V70 has the poly bush done in the top engine mount but not the bulkhead mounting. Do most people replace these while theyre on with the engine mount or are they not worth replacing with a poly bush?
When you push on the strut between the 2 mounts should there be any play in the bulkhead fitting?

I wouldnt bother - if you have done the front (larger) one - that improves the sound and gets rid of most of the flex. I have managed to break 2 of the poly bulk head ones and split a torque arm as there is nothing to absorb the flex when you remove both standard bushes....

I've done the bulkhead one, but only as I originally bought this by mistake over the top mount itself - seems fine, no issues with it, but cant say I would have done it intentionally bud.
