    To be honest, if you have the budget, I'd got for genuine Volvo ones as some of the after market suspension parts just don't last as they use cheaper rubber that just cracks and perishes earlier. Failing that try a reputable ebay trader or do a Google search.

    Regards

    James

    Depends on what part of the top mount you need buddy,

    The rubber part or the metal/bearing part? or both?

    www.partsforvolvosonline.com should be able to help.

    I heard off a chap on a dyno day at HLM that the XC90 top mounts are a direct fit upgrade and he had done it to his T5R
