Srut Brace
Hi guys,
Will a top mounted strut brace cut down on scuttle shake my "55" plate C70? If so, is anyone selling one at a nice cheap price? Last edited by WozzaUK; Aug 1st, 2019 at 11:01. |

Q1... Yes a strut brace will help reduce scuttle shake. But 'pattern' ones by manufacturers are usually rubbish and don't really do the job.
Q2... Strut braces are very rare and are snapped quickly. Keep an eye open in the "For Sale" section coz quite a few breakers/dismantlers who are Volvo specialists advertise there; put a request in the "Wants" section for the same reason. You might, if you are extremely lucky find one on ebay... but quite often, those are not genuine Volvo items and are rubbish!

OEM volvo ones used to be around £60. I've heard you can't buy them now.
I would look at Ultra Racing. They do a lot for our cars (850 & /S/V/C 70)

Do not be tempted by a left hand drive strut. It will not fit!
