Product Details
This Whiteline Front Strut Tower Brace fits the 2000 BMW 328Ci 3 Series (E46). Whiteline's note for this fit: Exclude models with traction control. In the box: 1 strut brace. Order it as part number KSB557. It goes on 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. No alignment is needed afterward. We also list Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, and Rear Trailing Arm Lower Front Bushing for the 328Ci 3 Series.
Features
- Finish: A polished alloy finish adds to the look.
- Chassis stiffness: Reduces flex to help hold alignment angles and spring rates steady.
- Matched kit: Each part in the kit was picked to suit the vehicle.
