The long-awaited BMW E46 DIY kit has finally arrived! Have you ever wanted to run Wisefab on your E46 BMW, but found it too expensive or too wide to fit your car? Now you have the opportunity to build a kit that fits your E46 by modifying OEM E36 control arms (yes, that’s right: E36 control arms for an E46). It requires a fair amount of measuring, cutting, and welding, but the result is a cost-effective and capable lock kit suitable for both street and competition use.
Watch the video that details the entire procedure.
- The knuckle add-ons are the same classic Wisefab parts we have used in our Pro kits for years.
- The wishbone extensions, lock stoppers, bearing housings, and the bearings themselves are also made from the same materials we use in our Pro kits.
- Camber plates are not included, but they are optional and can be purchased separately.
- Tie rods (inner and outer) are not included. However, the necessary parts can easily be purchased from auto parts stores. For inner tie rods, use Ford/Mazda part number EC0132240 or YL8Z3280EA. For tie rod ends, please use Ford/Mazda part number EC0132280 or 5L843289AA. Note! When purchasing tie rods, please ensure the inner end (rack side) has an M14x1.5 male thread and the outer end has an M16x1.5 male thread.
Note! Please be sure to read the installation instructions before and after your purchase. This will provide you with an overview of the required tools and workload.
Before you order
〇 Regarding import duties and taxes
At the Shaftoya shopping site, we pay the import consumption tax incurred at the time of import on your behalf, so there are no additional charges beyond the total amount paid at checkout.
〇 Confirmation of compatibility
Our entire product database is based on North American vehicles (USDM). Please confirm whether or not these parts can be installed on Japanese domestic vehicles (JDM) before placing your order. (If you are unsure if a listed product is compatible with your vehicle, please feel free to contact us. Our support team will be happy to check for you.)
If you place an order without confirming compatibility, we cannot accept returns due to incompatibility.
Please note that even if products are sorted by year, manufacturer, and vehicle model using the tabs on our homepage, this does not necessarily mean they will fit Japanese market models without modification.
All products have been translated into Japanese using translation software. There may be confusing expressions, so please contact us before ordering if you have any questions.
○ Regarding shipping
Shipping costs are paid at the time of checkout. Shipping estimates are calculated automatically when you enter your shipping address on the checkout page. For large items such as body parts, there may occasionally be a significant discrepancy between the automatically calculated shipping cost and the actual shipping cost. In such cases, we will contact you individually via email.
In principle, all products are shipped internationally from our warehouse in the United States. Unlike domestic shipping within Japan, international shipping takes approximately 7 to 14 days, so please allow plenty of time for your order. If you are in a hurry, please contact us in advance to confirm the delivery date. Please note that all products are transported by air; they are never shipped by sea freight.
○ Regarding compliance with Japanese vehicle inspection (Shaken)
In principle, all products we handle are designed and manufactured outside of Japan. Please note that they are not compliant with "Japanese vehicle inspection standards," and we cannot provide strength calculation documents or similar paperwork for these standards. Therefore, all parts are sold for the purpose of "use on circuits, private property, or off-road," and installation and use are at your own risk.
○ Regarding warranties
Please check the contents immediately upon arrival. As all products are shipped internationally from outside Japan, there may be shipping damage to the packaging or the product itself. Please understand that we will only provide returns, refunds, or exchanges if you contact us within 7 days of receipt regarding damaged, defective, or incorrect items. Please note that for products sold through us, warranty support will be handled "exclusively through us." We do not provide support through other companies or distributors located within Japan.
