Can I use 2 "right" side engine mounts?

[drj434343]

I'm switching to diesel mounts on my 93' 240, but can only find the "right" side in stock at my preferred vendor. Can I use two rights? I don't see any obvious geometry differences. Some aftermarket mounts don't even bother specifying "right" and "left".

The right side has the threaded stud straight though the center, the left side has them off center, and 180º out from each other, so no.

Last time I looked the diesel left side was just not available anywhere.

That's what I'm seeing as well. And in the places where stock mounts are listed as only one part number, it seems to cross reference to the Volvo PN for the right side only, even though that isn't specified on the buy page.

Yes, you can use it. The engine will sit a bit higher. You have to drill the center hole out for the stud on the mount.

Just installed Yoshifab HD engine mounts yesterday on a 245. Drilled out the left side upper and lower mount pin holes and everything bolted up fine.
No issues. Huge improvement.

The Yoshifab mounts are suppostedly:

1. much stiffer than typical motor mounts, even the diesel one, so you will get a lot of vibration transfer
2. available elsewhere cheaper? https://www.turbobricks.com/index.p...b230-motor-mounts-in-240.360428/#post-6187094
