It stops the leaf spring winding up when you accelerate.

Re: Reaction rod
Are you sure? Sorry if i am bothering you with this but i still don't understand. You say that it's a "barrier " in the back-to-front movement of the axle in aceleration. If so why isn't it located on both sides ? This is why i really don't understand, why only on the right side , what is so special about that side of the car. Thank you in advance .
Re: Reaction rod
Because Volvo are miserable and cost cutting It is an anti tramp bar as Dai say's, but as it only is fitted to one side of the car it's quite easy to make the opposite side tramp in the wet on a stock 1.7 engine.
Fitting another to the other side doesn't look difficult, but is something I've never got around to.
