The IronBox BMW E46 EVO Steering Angle Adapters are designed to increase the available front steering angle and reduce the Ackermann angle on dedicated BMW E46 drift builds ⠀ The adapters install onto BMW E46 front steering knuckles and are designed for use with modified BMW E36 front control arms ⠀ 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 BMW E36 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
E46 steering-knuckle installation — designed to mount onto BMW E46 front steering knuckles
Modified E36 control-arm configuration — developed for widened and professionally modified BMW E36 front control arms
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

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 ⠀ The required E36 control arms must match the adapter and E46 steering-knuckle configuration ⠀ 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
