[QUOTE=Kingsford G;792879]Thats the steering rack heat shield[/QUOTE] Thats what i thought but cant see how it goes, cant find a photo of this area from underneath!
[QUOTE=Luigi;792881]Thats what i thought but cant see how it goes, cant find a photo of this area from underneath![/QUOTE] It sits on the subframe with a 2 bolts,drivers side.

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.
