Volvo have developed two traction mountings to facilitate aligning in the event of damage to the front frame member on the 850, S/V/C70, S80, V70 2000-, and S60.

The tools are designed so that they can be forced into the end of a very badly deformed member which ensures a good mounting without the risk of deformation.
