BMW E30 E36 Front Anti-Roll Bar Brackets, Set of 2

These E36 front anti-roll bar brackets are reinforced holders for the drop links of the front anti-roll bar on the BMW E30 and E36. On the E30 and E36 Compact they also fit at the rear. On older cars the original brackets often break off as soon as you try to undo the seized bolt; this set is the stronger replacement for exactly that.

They are made for high-powered motorsport cars and for anyone fitting a thicker anti-roll bar. But on an ordinary road car that is driven through rain and road salt all year round, they are a logical replacement too. Especially if you are fitting new drop links or bushes anyway, it makes sense to do the brackets at the same time, because then everything is already apart.

Installation and delivery

The E36 front anti-roll bar brackets go in place of the original drop link holders. Always replace both, so that left and right are equally strong. If the old bracket has already broken off or cracked, also check the surrounding panel and repair it first. Clean the contact surface and treat bare metal against rust before you fit the new bracket.

Use new bolts and lock nuts and tighten them with the car on its wheels, so that the anti-roll bar is not put under tension. A little copper grease on the thread helps you undo the bolt again later without any trouble.

You will find more parts in our anti-roll bars category. For the rear axle of the E30 and E36 we also have short 80 mm drop links.

A small bracket, but exactly the spot where things often go wrong on an old BMW.

Why choose these E36 front anti-roll bar brackets?

Anyone who works on an E30 or E36 knows the story: the drop link bolt is seized and the bracket turns with it or breaks off. With this set of 4 mm S355 steel you get a stronger holder back, one that can also handle a thicker anti-roll bar and harder loads. A small part that saves a lot of frustration. Put them on the shelf before you start on the front axle, so you are not stuck if a bracket unexpectedly breaks off.
