BMW E36 Rear 4 - Point RACP X-Brace - Rear Axle Reinforcement

BMW E36 Rear 4-Point X-Brace – RACP Rear Axle Carrier Panel Reinforcement

Strengthen one of the BMW E36’s most well-known weak points with this professional Rear Axle Carrier Panel (RACP) reinforcement brace. Designed as a 4-point lower X-brace, it significantly increases chassis rigidity, stabilizes the rear axle and protects the RACP from cracks and structural fatigue.

Perfect for drift, track and high-performance street builds where the rear suspension area must handle high loads.

Key Benefits

Increases torsional rigidity of the body

Reinforces the RACP – protects against cracks and failures

Improves rear-axle control and driving precision

Enhances overall chassis durability

Highly recommended for tuned, swapped or motorsport E36 builds

This brace stabilizes the subframe mounting points and reduces unwanted flex, especially under hard acceleration, aggressive cornering or drifting.

Important Note :

A strut brace does not replace thin factory sheet metal with thick steel.

For cars with existing damage, it is advisable to repair or weld-reinforce the RACP before installing this brace. (These reinforcement plates are available in our store.)
