IronBox BMW E36 EVO Steering Angle Adapters — Approx. 50°

$
120.00
The IronBox BMW E36 EVO Steering Angle Adapters are designed to increase the available front steering angle and reduce the Ackermann angle on dedicated BMW E36 drift builds

The adapters install onto BMW E36 front steering knuckles and relocate the outer ball-joint and steering tie-rod mounting positions

When installed as part of the correctly modified front suspension setup, the adapters can increase the steering angle to approximately 50°

These adapters are not a complete bolt-on lock kit and require professional modification of the front control arms together with longer steering tie rods

Main features

  • Increased steering angle — provides approximately 50° of steering lock when used with the required supporting modifications
  • Reduced Ackermann angle — changes the steering geometry for improved operation at increased drift angles
  • E36 steering-knuckle installation — designed to mount onto BMW E36 front steering knuckles
  • Tapered mounting holes — manufactured for the outer ball joint and steering tie-rod end
  • Left- and right-side adapters — supplied as a complete pair for the front axle
  • Steel construction — designed for the loads generated during drift and motorsport use
  • Blacknitride finish — provides corrosion resistance without adding a thick coating to the precision mounting surfaces

Compatibility

  • BMW 3 Series E36

Designed for models using standard BMW E36 front steering knuckles

BMW E36 Compact compatibility depends on the installed front steering-knuckle and suspension configuration

Requires modified and extended front control arms

Requires longer steering tie rods or suitable tie-rod extension components

Compatibility with BMW E36 M3 steering knuckles and non-standard front suspension conversions must be confirmed before ordering

The EVO designation identifies this IronBox product version and does not indicate BMW M3 Evolution-specific compatibility

Required modifications and parts — not included

Front control arms must be widened by relocating the outer ball joint approximately 50–60 mm outward

The outer ball joint must also be relocated approximately 25 mm forward

The control arms require professional cutting, fabrication and welding

The steering tie rods must be lengthened using suitable extensions or longer steering components

Modified control arms, tie-rod extensions, tie-rod ends and other suspension components are not included

Compatible IronBox modified control arms and steering extension components may be purchased separately

Kit includes

  • Left-side steering angle adapter — 1 pc
  • Right-side steering angle adapter — 1 pc
  • Installation hardware

Important installation information

The stated steering angle of approximately 50° depends on the complete suspension configuration, steering rack, control-arm geometry, tie-rod length, wheel offset, tyre size and available component clearance

Control-arm modification and welding must be carried out by a qualified motorsport fabrication specialist

The ball-joint and tie-rod tapers must seat correctly without movement or interference

Check steering, brake-line, wheel, tyre, control-arm and chassis clearance throughout the complete steering range and suspension travel

A professional wheel alignment and full inspection of the modified steering geometry are required after installation

The completed vehicle must be tested progressively before operation at full steering angle
