If you have trouble getting your front alignment to spec, or feel your car 'wandering' down the freeway, there is a possibility you need this bushing replaced. If you see a fluid leak from this bushing, it's time to replace it.

This kit includes the Bushings as well as all the related hardware that should be replaced when servicing the bushings.

Fits the following model:

2002-2006 R50 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Hatchback
2005-2008 R52 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Convertible

For the do-it-yourself'r, the bushing can be replaced from the bracket, but the old will need to be pressed out and the new pressed in with a special Tool. This bushing goes on the rear end of the front lower control arm.

To simplify repair, you can replace the entire bracket with the bushing already pressed in. If you prefer to get the bushing with the bracket, see NMS7615L. Replacing the entire bracket with the bushing will save you a lot of time for little added expense. You also won't need the BMW 'special tool' if you replace the entire bracket with bushing already installed.

For the performance minded, see the Powerflex Polyurethane Bushings.
