Upgrade your BMW E36 & E46 Rear Trailing Arms today! These BMW E36 and E46 Rear Trailing Arms are a serious work of art and engineering! We have constructed a trailing arm that allows bolt on wheel bearings, high horsepower axles, dual calipers, and adjustable to 0 Degrees of toe!
These Rear Trailing Arms allow for a Bolt-On wheel bearing by using BMW part numbers 33411095774 (Hub) and 33411095238 (Bearing) pressed together to complete the wheel bearing. With those wheel bearings, you can also use the higher horsepower E36 M3 axles, a huge improvement compared to the stock non-M E36 axles!
No more welding E36 or E46 Dual caliper brackets on, as these Rear Trailing Arms come with prefabricated dual caliper mounting tabs!
We spent quite some time on these to achieve adjustability on these to 0 degrees of toe. The E36 and E46 are known for some Toe-In issues, and these Rear Trailing Arm design offers a solution to achieve up to 0 degrees of toe!
Our trailing arm design allows the most tire and wheel width possible compared to the factory arms.
A true coilover upper control arm is required for these to fit as they interfere with the buckets of the upper control arms with a divorced setup
For installation on E46, E46 M3 brakes will not fit
For installation on E36, E36 M3 Output axle flanges to differential required
Key Features:
• Bolt On Design!
