Product Details
This Whiteline Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link fits the 2002-2013 Mini Cooper Base, S. The listing names the Base and S trims. The part number is KLC106. Position: rear. The kit contains 2 links.
The rear sway bar can only do its job if its ends are tied firmly to the wheels, and the links make that connection. A loose or flexible link lets the body lean before the bar starts to push back, which is why worn links show up as a knock over bumps or a delayed feel at turn-in. A body that adjusts in length means the link can be matched to the car instead of the other way around, and the bar starts from a neutral position.
Expect a moderate job of about 1 hour. No alignment is needed afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Cooper: Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 20mm Rear Sway Bar, and Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit.
Features
- Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
- Anodized alloy: The alloy carries an anodized finish for durability.
- Rigid design: Taking the flex out of the connection makes the car react faster to steering input.
- Construction: The body is made from high-grade alloy for strength without added weight.
- Ball joints: Heavy duty steel ball joints at the ends move through a wide arc to suit the application.
- Pre-greased: Joints arrive pre-greased and ready to install.
