Under hard hits those towers can move slightly in relation to each other. A shock tower brace connects the mount points so they work as one stronger structure, which helps the suspension and steering behave more consistently from one hit to the next. Many X3 owners pair it with heavier-duty tie rods, radius rods, A-arms or a gusset kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuying Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfirm your model:\u003c\/strong\u003e Match your year, trim, width (64\" or 72\") and seat count to the fitment tool before you order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnow which version you have:\u003c\/strong\u003e This kit replaces the older F-22 brace, part number STS-CA-X3-002.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlan the install:\u003c\/strong\u003e Budget time for removing the nose and radiator and for drilling the frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a full front-end job.
