Product Details

Whiteline built the Heavy Duty 26mm Front Sway Bar for the 2009-2014 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works Clubman. Whiteline's note for this fit: Suits R55/R56/R57 models. Whiteline part number: BMF73. It is listed for the R56 chassis. The listing names the John Cooper Works Clubman trim. Position: front. In the box: 1 sway bar and 2 bushings.

A sway bar is a torsion spring that links the left and right wheels. When the body leans, the bar twists and resists, which keeps the car flatter and spreads load more evenly across the tires. In general, a stiffer front bar reduces roll and helps the nose stay planted, with a tendency toward understeer if it is overdone. The bar is adjustable, so the stiffness can be changed to suit the car and the road.

Expect a moderate job of about 3 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Working on the same car? 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

• Finish: The metal is powder coated, which resists corrosion and wear.
• Bar mounts: The mounts have an internal bore pattern and lips that retain grease.
• Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
• Roll stiffness: Bar diameter sets the stiffness, and this one raises roll resistance.
• Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
• Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
