My mounts and inserts were changed 10 years and 88,000 miles ago by a top rated independent volvo exclusive shop.
Im doing inserts and want to be sure the mounts are good before I proceed.
I have the struts out from under the car with spring compressors installed, but not compressed, top nut still in place
Looking at the mounts. They have the volvo insignia. Part # 1359110. They seem good. No damage, at all, to the rubber. They turn smoothly. No crunching. There is a very slight movement when I grasp the plate and move it laterally, and that it what Im most concerned about. Is that slight movement normal, or does it indicate wear? The movement is is very, very slight. Or should there be absolutely no movement.
Additionally, I was experiencing a clunk when backing, turning. Also vibration in the front at high speed, which didnt go away after tire balance and alignment.
Control arm bushings, tie rod ends, steering rack, stablizer bushings, rotors, have all been replaced recently.
All input is welcomed.
Thanks.
