Product Details
This Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing fits the 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman Base, S. Application note: Standard Replacement. Placement: front. In the box: 2 shell bushings and 2 bushings. The listing names the Base and S trims. Order it as part number W52613.
Bushings work out of sight, but they decide how well a suspension holds its geometry. A soft or tired control arm bushing allows play that shows up as vague steering, a wandering feel under braking, or a clunk over bumps. Fitting a firmer one takes that slack out. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 3 hours of work listed. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the Cooper Clubman, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, and Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 20mm Rear Sway Bar.
