Product Details
This Whiteline Upper Motor Mount Bushing Kit fits the 2002-2003 Mini Cooper (R50). Whiteline's note for this fit: Suits vehicles built from 4/2002: 4/2003. Included: 2 bushings. Whiteline part number: W93518.
Engine mounts hold the engine in the chassis while absorbing vibration. When the rubber softens, the engine rocks under hard acceleration and when you lift off, and you may feel shudders, clunks, or a vague throttle. A new mount restores a solid hold. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 1 hour. It does not require a wheel alignment. To go with it on the Cooper, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, and Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 20mm Rear Sway Bar.
Features
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane is firmer than the factory rubber, so it deflects less under load.
- Self-lubricating: Built-in grease reservoirs provide continual lubrication and reduce friction.
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
