Product Details
This Whiteline Front Strut Tower Brace fits the 1997-1999 BMW 323i 3 Series (E36). Included: 1 strut brace. Placement: front. Whiteline's note for this fit: Excluding Traction Control Equipped Models. The part number is KSB536.
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.
Installation is rated moderate, with about half an hour of work listed. It does not require a wheel alignment. We also list Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, and Rear Trailing Arm Lower Front Bushing for the 323i 3 Series.
Features
- DIY friendly: A straightforward bolt-on job for a home mechanic.
- Chassis stiffness: Reduces flex to help hold alignment angles and spring rates steady.
- Warranty: Whiteline's listed warranty is 3 years and 60,000 miles.
