Adding Cherry Turbo Braces 900

posted by  someone claiming to be 93-940 & 99-V70 on  Sat Jan 31 07:56 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I have a 1993 940 NA. I am thinking of adding the Cherry Turbo upper & lower braces to it. My question is can I just drive the front up on ramps to put on the lower brace, or does the car have to be on a lift so the wheels are off the ground (no weight on them)?

Also, how difficult/how much time does it take? (I put the upper strut brace on my V70 and it was very easy)

It's just as easy as your upper brace except that you work from under the car. Simple bolt-on procedure, doesn't matter if suspension is loaded or not. Be sure to remember to re-tighten the nuts per instructions after a bit of driving--I forgot to and lost a couple of 'em. Locktite (impermanent) might be a good idea.

The lower brace ties the rear control arm attachments together. While I've got the Volvo brace (a simple curved bar) instead of Herman's more robust design, I found I could bolt this on while the car was on the ground without any need for raising it or removing the wheels.
