Product Details
Whiteline built the Heavy Duty 26mm Front Sway Bar for the 2013-2016 Mini Cooper Countryman John Cooper Works ALL4 (F56). It goes on the front of the vehicle. The kit contains 1 sway bar and 2 bushings. The listing names the Countryman John Cooper Works ALL4 trim. Part number BMF73. Whiteline's note for this fit: Suits R55/R56/R57 models.
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.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 3 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Cooper: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Heavy Duty Blade Adjustable 20mm Rear Sway Bar, and Front Sway Bar Bushing Kit.
Features
- Bushing compound: The synthetic elastomer used is low in compliance, so it flexes less.
- Finish: The metal parts are powder coated for durability.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
- Lateral locks: Lateral locks stop the bar sliding sideways under load.
- Roll stiffness: A larger diameter bar has more torsional resistance, which raises overall roll stiffness.
- Roll control: Built to reduce body roll and sway in corners.
