Product Details
This Whiteline Front Strut Tower Brace fits the 2001-2006 BMW 325xi 3 Series (E46). The part number is KSB557. Placement: front. You receive 1 strut brace. Application note: Exclude models with traction control.
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. To go with it on the 325xi 3 Series, see Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Rear Subframe Mount Bushing, and Rear Sway Bar Link.
Features
