Bought the strut brace from Volvo and fitted it last night. The brace is very close and touches the brake fluid reservoir, I've added some foam to prevent rubbing, is this normal or do I need to file the brace's strut holes to increase it slightly. One thing it's got lots of bend and would be interesting to calculate the difference in buckling strength between the RHD and LHD one. I also had to move one of the ABS wiring connectors as the bracket had to be sawn off to fit on top of the brace's mounting. Finally anybody thought how much it changes the camber when hot? (Aluminium has a high temp coef. and the engine bay gets very hot)
Performance wise , it sounds like the dash rattles are less and I did a slow speed (60km/h) 90 degree and the normal “wallowy” feel wasn’t there, Also did a high speed interchange turn at 160 km/h and turn in felt better.
