IronBox BMW E46 Adjustable Caster Lollipop Brackets — Polyurethane V2

$
165.00
The IronBox Version 2 adjustable caster lollipop brackets replace the original front control arm rear mounting brackets in compatible BMW E46 drift, track and custom suspension configurations

Unlike the previous configuration, Version 2 allows the caster angle to be adjusted while the brackets remain installed on the vehicle, providing easier and more precise suspension setup

The extended adjustment range is achieved through two available housing positions, with two mounting locations provided in each housing

Polyurethane bushings reduce unwanted control-arm movement and improve steering response while retaining more vibration isolation than fully rigid spherical-bearing mounts

These brackets are designed for compatible aftermarket front control arms with round mounting ends and are not compatible with standard BMW E46 front control arms

Main features

  • On-car caster adjustment — allows suspension geometry to be adjusted without removing the brackets from the chassis
  • Extended adjustment range — two housing positions and two mounting locations provide additional control over the longitudinal position of the front control arm
  • Polyurethane bushings — reduce deformation and suspension movement compared with conventional OEM rubber bushings
  • More direct steering response — provides a firmer connection between the front control arms and chassis
  • Improved suspension consistency — helps maintain more stable front suspension geometry under load
  • Street and motorsport compromise — retains more vibration isolation than a spherical-bearing configuration
  • Serviceable construction — assembled components provide easier inspection and maintenance
  • Duralumin and steel construction — combines rigid machined components with strong steel mounting elements
  • Protected components — anodized duralumin parts and BLACKNITRIDE-treated steel components provide corrosion resistance

Compatibility

  • BMW 3 Series E46

Compatible aftermarket front control arms with round rear mounting ends

Drift and angle-kit suspension configurations using compatible front control arms

Track and custom suspension configurations with corresponding mounting geometry

Not compatible with

  • OEM BMW E46 front control arms with hexagonal rear mounting ends
  • BMW E46 xi and xDrive front suspension configurations

Other control arms unless the mounting-end diameter, shape and complete suspension geometry have been confirmed

Installation with OEM BMW E46 front control arms would require machining the hexagonal arm ends to a round profile, which is not recommended by IronBox

Compatibility with BMW E46 M3, Compact and custom angle-kit configurations must be confirmed according to the installed front control arms and mounting geometry

This is not a direct bolt-on replacement for the standard BMW E46 lollipop brackets when the original front control arms are retained

Kit includes

  • Left-side assembled adjustable caster bracket — 1 pc
  • Right-side assembled adjustable caster bracket — 1 pc
  • Installation hardware
  • Installation and adjustment instructions

Important installation information

A complete wheel alignment is required after installation and after every caster adjustment

Changing the caster setting moves the front wheel longitudinally inside the wheel arch and may affect tire, wheel-arch, brake-hose and steering clearance

Check the complete suspension movement at full steering lock, compression and droop before operating the vehicle

The control-arm mounting ends, chassis mounting points, polyurethane bushings and supplied hardware must be inspected before installation

All fasteners must be tightened correctly and inspected regularly during motorsport use

Installation, caster adjustment and final suspension inspection should be carried out by a qualified specialist
