Its the top part of the steering gear crash protection, sits vertically over the top of the steering rack. Bolts to another part that goes under the rack to create a heavy duty box that does something during a crash I suppose.

Here's mine on my 850 (slightly different, but I guess pretty much the same principle)



And kudos for attempting a clutch change on an AWD Volvo!

A lot of cars have the steering crash guard removed.
