Product Details
Here is the Whiteline Heavy Duty 26mm Front Sway Bar for the 2012-2015 Mini Cooper Coupe. Whiteline's note for this fit: Suits R55/R56/R57 models. The part number is BMF73. You receive 1 sway bar and 2 bushings. Trim named on the listing: Coupe. This part is for the front of the vehicle. Chassis code: F56.
The front bar connects the two front wheels so that load carried by one side is shared with the other. By stiffening that connection, the car leans less and the front tires work more evenly in a corner. Adjustable mounting points let you step the stiffness up or down without changing the bar.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 3 hours of work listed. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Working on the same car? We also list Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 20mm Rear Sway Bar, and Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit for the Cooper.
Features
- Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
- Bar mounts: Internally knurled mount bushings with lips that hold grease keep the bar lubricated.
- Roll control: Designed to cut body roll and sway through corners.
- Self-lubricating: Built-in grease reservoirs provide continual lubrication and reduce friction.
- Roll stiffness: Bar diameter sets the stiffness, and this one raises roll resistance.
- Lateral locks: DIY lateral locks stop the bar from shifting sideways under cornering loads.
