Frequently Asked Questions

Will the 14-16 BMW 228i (F22/F23) Control Front Suspension Strut Brace fit my suspension configuration (aFe 450-502003-G)?
Match drivetrain, trim, factory suspension, ride height, wheel and tire package, and any exclusions shown for this exact product.

Will an alignment be required?
An alignment is recommended whenever ride height or suspension geometry changes and may also be needed after replacing bars, arms, links, or mounts.

Does the kit change ride quality?
Ride and handling depend on rates, adjustment, bushings, tire setup, and installation. Use the settings recommended for the intended street or off-road use.

Should fasteners be rechecked after installation?
Yes. Torque fasteners at the specified suspension position, inspect clearance, and recheck hardware after the initial driving cycle.

Installation Instructions

  1. Confirm aFe part number 450-502003-G, the complete vehicle or specification-based application, and all required supporting components.
  2. Support the vehicle at approved points, record ride height and alignment condition, and compare every mount and component before disassembly.
  3. Install hardware in the documented orientation and torque sequence, tightening pivot bushings at the specified ride position where required.
  4. Verify full steering and suspension travel, wheel and tire clearance, alignment, and fastener torque before normal driving.
