Upper Engine Mount
I was wondering if you guys have ever replaced a Upper Engine Mount on a 6 Cylinder S80 2.9 2004 before?
I do not know what a new one looks like but here are a few pics.

I have actually been through two upper mounts before.. First was the OEM, then an aftermarket polurethane (much like IPD's) but I destroyed that one within a year or two.. Turns out that my lower mount needed changing as well, and only after doing this did my upper mounts seem to last.
If done right, you will feel a bit extra vibration in the car from the polyurethane mount, but overall it will definitely outlast the OEM rubber design..
I found that the easiest way to install this is to get two ratchets and get a friend to hold one side. Then just heave it as tight as possible.. Also, after a few months come back and make sure its still tight in there.. If this mount is loose its going to put additional strain on the others, particularly the lower, so you may want to inspect that one as well..

I got a new standalone bushing from rmeuropean for around $13. Came in two havles so no need to press it in. We'll see how long it lasts....

Can someone confirm if the bar should be be loose or tight. ie the bar on my engine will rotate a couple of degrees by hand very easily.
