Haitoman 110 Report post Posted February 22, 2014 I'm about to start cleaning up the suspension components underneath the M3. There is a big V shaped brace the point of which bolts near the diff with a square plate at the V. The legs of the V face forward and bolt to the sides of the chassis. Does this have a name? and can I safely undo the three bolts and drop it down without something falling on my head? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The torque setting is really high on that brace however and technically speaking you should replace the bolts as it is a stretched bolt torque + angle.
