Hi Volvo_again

I did front and rear lower mounts (not torque mount or RH mount under the crankshaft pulley) on my 1998 T5 Auto. It was difficult. I think it may be much easier on non turbos.

It was a while ago so I don't remember clearly.
I think I had to loosen the subframe front bolts and then slightly lower the rear of the subframe.
I am pretty sure I didn't touch anything to do with the power steering or the antiroll bar.
Is there a bracket in the way that had to be removed?
Is the problem undoing the lower or upper nut (or bolt) on the rear mount?
I think I ended up using a low profile socket (possibly 3/8 drive) to undo something - approaching from the top using a long extension.

Do you have the part numbers of the mounts that you are working with, then I can look up a diagram and I might remember more?
