Lower motor mounts 850 1995

I just had my serpentine belt changed at 100k, and they told me that my lower engine mounts both need replacing, cost is $600 at the dealer. Any suggestions on whether this is likely true or are they trying to sell me something. The mounts are filled with oil and apparently some has leaked out. I am getting slight vibration in the steering wheel and the pedals.

    Step by step instructions for the one near the timing belt
    are at:

    http://volvospeed.com/Repair/front_mount.htm

    I'm not sure if it lists the time required since I did not read
    through it.

    It is not an uncommon problem.

      that the right motor mount your thinking of. Theres another one that looks like a shock under the middle of the engine. The Right and top mounts are the ones that tend to fail. The oil could be from the engine thats leaking onto it. The right mount (from volvospeed posting) is just rubber and metal and that one has a very tough bolt to get at. You need the right tools and a jack to lift the engine.

        I just did the lower right mount on my 850. It did not take me that long, the only problem I ran into was getting at the one front bolt. The socket would not fit in and neither the wrench, so I took an old ( but high quality ) wrench and cut the open end off and then undoing the bolt with the box end was no problem. It took me less than an hour, ( but that included having a coffee to think about the wrench clearance problem ). Got the mount from eEuroparts.com and I now also have a Volvo special tool.
