Strut Braces 242GT Style The 1978 240GT came stock with a simple, but effective strut brace. The brace ties the upper strut tower to the firewall, which significantly improved the chassis stiffness during hard cornering, and on bumpy road surfaces. A stiff chassis helps keep the wheels firmly planted on the ground allowing the suspension to function properly and also helps to maintain proper wheel alignment during high cornering loads.
We have reproduced the braces with durable zinc chromate plating and include the hardware needed to make installation a snap. The threaded mounting holes are already in the firewall, the opposite end fastens to the rearmost strut bolt that protrudes up through the strut tower, installation takes about 30 minutes with a 13mm wrench and included instructions.
Please check fitment listed below to ensure products will fit your specific vehicle. Some products may include or exclude some model years or engine and transmission combinations. The products listed on our website are for Volvos sold in the North American market. Many of the parts are exactly the same as those used in other markets, however we cannot guarantee fitment for those markets.

These should have been installed on ever 240 from the factory. 15 minutes to install. Very worth the price. :)
