Had a little accident while off-roading the 240 and have damaged the engine cross-member passed what I can repair. Also did some decent damage to the passenger control arm but have sourced a replacement.

 

What cross-member are you looking for? The one that holds the rear of the transmission or the one underneath the engine? The transmission cross-member is readily available from Volvo. Not so sure about the one under the engine. To replace the engine cross-member requires quite a bit of work.

 

Unfortunately I need the one under the engine that the steering rack mounts to.

 

probably crossmember 1304668

and yeah, looks like its welded to the inner wheel housing pieces, and lotsa work to remove from a car

part #15 in this diagram:

supposedly available from Volvo for $80-100.

I seriously doubt an OEM Volvo crossmember would be anywhere near $80, or that it'd be available.

 

dunno, volvopartswebstore is a dealer, they claim its still in the catalogs. the acid test would be to order it, if its unobtanium, they would mark it NLA going forward.

 

I believe the part he is referring to is item #1 in this diagram:

However, the parts listing below the image doesn't show #1. I suspect it is NLA.

The part that Pierce quoted is the support that the radiator sits in.
