An E1-3 "front" brace will not fit as the strut top mounts only have 2 studs. An E1-3 rear brace will fit fine.
I cannot confirm if an E4-6 front brace will fit, the strut top mounts fit but I'm not sure the if the brace will clear the engine, fuse box etc! |

Is there anything I should watch out for when fitting a strut brace to my V40, can I simply unbolt the strut top bolts and fit the brace on, and is it wise to get the tracking/wheel alingment checked after fitting ?, it is a genuine Volvo Strut Brace I am fitting, so there is no problem with suitability.
thanks, Kev240 |

You'll need to lower the fuse box, best way is to undo the bolts, pull the box off the top of the fixing tabs and move it underneath them, then bolt them back on. |
