Product Details
This Whiteline Front Strut Tower Brace fits the 1998-1999 BMW 323is 3 Series (E36). Application note: Excluding Traction Control Equipped Models. Part number KSB536. You receive 1 strut brace. This part is for the front of the vehicle.
A strut tower brace ties the two upper strut mounts together with a rigid bar, so the tops of the front struts cannot flex independently when cornering loads push on the body. Holding them steadier helps keep alignment angles consistent and sharpens turn-in and steering feel.
Expect a moderate job of about half an hour. It does not require a wheel alignment. 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 323is 3 Series.
Features
- Warranty: Whiteline backs it with a warranty listed at 3 years and 60,000 miles.
- DIY friendly: Goes on as a direct-fit bolt-on install.
- Chassis stiffness: Helps keep alignment angles and spring rates consistent by cutting down flex.
