Hi All,

Here are two photos of the motor mount in my 2016 XC70 T5 AWD (5-cyl). I am not used to inspecting these. Is it worn out? I experience a small vibration at 1200-1800 rpm that feels like lugging the engine.
Thanks,
Steve

Hard to tell - how many miles on the car?

I think when this mount is shot there is an audible almost grinding like noise.

98k miles. Definitely not a grinding noise in my case. Just vibration 1200-1800 under light load.

Yeah when those go the car usually makes an audible grinding or rattling sort of noise. Sometimes you see visible signs of oil leakage from the mount

Hi Steve, great picture!
It can be seen that the failsafe rubber tab is touching the steel of the mount so it is obviusly colapsed to it's lowest point. When you get a new one you'll see that there should be about a 10mm to 12mm gap there.

Oh it can go lower than that. I went metal to metal lol. By that time it sounded like the transmission was going to blow up. That mount sure has the ability to make different noises in the car as it goes out.
