Product Details
Owners of the 1996-1999 BMW 328i 3 Series (E36) can fit the Whiteline Front Strut Tower Brace. Placement: front. Application note: Excluding Traction Control Equipped Models. Whiteline part number: KSB536. In the box: 1 strut brace.
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.
Expect a moderate job of about half an hour. It does not require a wheel alignment. Other Whiteline parts we list for the 328i 3 Series: Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, and Rear Trailing Arm Lower Front Bushing.
Features
- DIY friendly: A straightforward bolt-on job for a home mechanic.
- Chassis stiffness: Helps keep alignment angles and spring rates consistent by cutting down flex.
- Warranty: Whiteline's listed warranty is 3 years and 60,000 miles.
