Product Details
This Whiteline Steering Rack and Pinion Mount Bushing fits the 2002-2006 Mini Cooper (R50/R53). The kit contains 1 bushing. Part number W13406.
Steering precision starts at the rack mount. When its bushings are soft, worn, or contaminated, the rack can move before the front wheels respond, which blunts feedback and makes the car feel less direct. Replacing them with firmer Whiteline bushings keeps the rack in position.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 2 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. We also list Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, and Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 20mm Rear Sway Bar for the Cooper.
Features
- Install guide: Step-by-step installation instructions come with it.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
