BMW E36 Anti-Roll Bar Mount Reinforcement Rear Subframe

An E36 anti-roll bar mount reinforcement tackles one of the best-known weak spots of the BMW E36: the mount of the rear anti-roll bar on the subframe. Due to rust on the rear beam and a floor that gets weaker over the years, this mount can crack or come off completely.

This weld-in kit is made for high-powered E36 projects, for cars that are getting a thicker anti-roll bar and for cars that are driven every day in all weathers and through road salt. Use it as a repair or to prevent problems.

What should you look out for on an E36 that you are buying or building? Look under the rear of the car at the brackets where the anti-roll bar is attached to the subframe. Rust bubbles, small cracks in the welds or a bracket that gives way when you push firmly against it are clear signs. The sooner you act, the less welding is needed.

Installation and delivery

The plates are welded onto the rear subframe. You cannot fit this kit without welding. The best time is when the subframe is coming out of the car anyway, for example for new bushes or a complete overhaul of the rear axle. Then you can reach everything easily and lay the welds neatly.

First make the mount rust-free and see how big the damage is. Have the welding done by an experienced welder and then finish the subframe with a good anti-rust coating. While the subframe is out, also check the rest of it for small cracks.

If the body floor above the subframe also needs replacing, take a look at the E36 reinforcement for the subframe floor. You will find the full range in the chassis and subframe reinforcements category.

A subframe that is well over twenty years old deserves steel that can handle today’s forces.

Why choose an E36 anti-roll bar mount reinforcement?

On an E36 that is driven on track or gets a thicker anti-roll bar, the original sheet metal will crack sooner or later. The E36 anti-roll bar mount reinforcement follows the shape of the subframe and spreads the forces over a larger area. This keeps the rear axle tight, even after many days of driving.

You notice the difference mainly in quick changes of direction: an anti-roll bar that is firmly attached does its job straight away, without delay or clunking.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be able to weld for this E36 anti-roll bar mount reinforcement?

Yes, the kit is welded onto the subframe.

Is the kit also intended as a repair?

Yes. You use it on a damaged mount, but also as a preventive measure.

What material is used?

S355 steel, 3 mm thick, laser-cut and bent.

How much does the kit weigh?

0.38 kg, so the reinforcement adds hardly any weight to the rear axle.

Does this kit also fit an E46?

No, this is the version for the E36. There is a separate reinforcement for the E46.

Do I need a thicker anti-roll bar?

No, but with a thicker bar a reinforcement is especially sensible, because the mount then has to withstand more.
