Default Strut Brace

The Volvo item is only £75, less o/c discount. Fit it yourself, a piece of cake.

Get a volvo one it looks good and always helps to have a volvo part badge on it when it comes to sell. The volvo one also comes with the new strut top bolts which is a MUST when putting a strut brace on.

If your in kent pop into SW Autos, as they can supply and fit the original item. Cost me about £70 from them. The volvo one comes with full instructions and will take 10 mins to fit yourself, it is easy.

Talking got mine fitted

After checking ebay and others for prices I went with Nordic parts . Less than £70 including delivery (as VOC memeber price) They were let down by parcel line delivery but I cannot fault the service and the communication I had from Martin and Mike.
Well recommended!
