Description
When 240s were new, they were known for having some of the most comfortable seat ever found in a car. One of the key components in the 240 front seat is the bottom seat web support frame. This wire frame provides compliant support to the lower cushion. Over time, the wire fatigues and eventually breaks and you¹ll find yourself sagging in the seat and the seat gets uncomfortable as you no longer have proper positioning to take advantage of the adjustable lumbar system.
The seat webbing was discontinued by Volvo in 2007 and no aftermarket manufacturers picked it up. We are now having them manufactured in a modern material that is a direct replacement for the original. We have also sourced the tension springs as those often end up missing once the webbing fails.
The tension springs are quite strong and you'll need a good set of vice grips to use to install them.
