Finally Got A Volvo Strut Brace 850 1997

I just got my VOLVO strut brace from the dealer. Accessory Part # 9204176. Nice aluminum finish and very lightweight, maybe 1-2 pounds total. It came with instructions and new nuts for the strut mounts. Installation took 35 minutes from opening the hood to closing. It would have been 20 but I had to go and get my torque wrench back from my neighbor.

The car is a bone stock (until now) 1997 R Wagon. Initial impressions are that the car doesn't wander as much over rough roads. It does feel tighter, but not significantly tighter. Just enough to let me know it was a good decision.
