Product Details
This Whiteline Front Strut Tower Brace fits the 1996-1999 BMW 328is 3 Series (E36). Application note: Excluding Traction Control Equipped Models. Part number KSB536. The kit contains 1 strut brace. Placement: front.
Chassis stiffness is easy to underrate. A brace across the strut towers connects two points that would otherwise move on their own, which keeps the front suspension working as designed and gives the steering a more consistent, communicative feel.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about half an hour. No alignment is needed afterward. We also list Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, and Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit for the 328is 3 Series.
Features
- Warranty: Covered by a warranty that Whiteline lists at 3 years and 60,000 miles.
- Chassis stiffness: Helps keep alignment angles and spring rates consistent by cutting down flex.
- DIY friendly: A straightforward bolt-on job for a home mechanic.
