Most front wheel drive and all wheel drive Volvos utilize a link style transmission mount installed between the transmission and the engine subframe. This mount is designed to limit the twisting torque of the power train under acceleration. The mount has two bushings in it and the larger of the two bushings is very soft and prone to premature failure, which allows the engine and transmission to over torque, stressing other mounts and noticeably reducing performance and shifting smoothens . We have developed an effective economical solution that replaces the large hi void area rubber bushing with a heavy duty full polyurethane bushing. The upgrade is available as a kit that allows you to replace the faulty bushing or as a complete assembled unit for those of you who prefer a direct bolt on part. Pressing out the original bushing is pretty easy and can be done with a medium size vice and hammer. A press is not required. Replacing the complete part takes about 30 minutes with common hand tools, add an addition l5 minutes if you are pressing the new bushing into your original hardware. Instructions are included.

Volvo has offered chassis braces on some GT and European performance models in the past, and we have reproduced them for the budget-minded enthusiast. Simple firewall-to-strut housing braces and lower tie bars work to effectively reduce unwanted flex and improve handling response. Easy installation in about 30 minutes with common hand tools and included hardware and instructions.

These incredibly strong trussed and triangulated chassis brace kits connect both towers and reduce movement and flex under high cornering loads. Constructed of cold rolled steel and powder coated for extremely high strength and a superior finish. For best results, you should install the upper and lower braces, as they are designed as a system. Easy installation in about 30 minutes with common hand tools and included hardware and instructions.

Note: Some models may require minor modification of the ABS bracket for proper installation. Steel Truss Design Chassis Braces & Kits
