Product Details
Whiteline Heavy Duty 26mm Front Sway Bar is made for the 2013 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works GP. Trim named on the listing: John Cooper Works GP. Whiteline's note for this fit: Suits R55/R56/R57 models. Part number BMF73. Included: 1 sway bar and 2 bushings. It goes on the front of the vehicle. The chassis code on the listing is F56.
Roll control starts at the front of most cars, where the steering tires do the hardest work. A stiffer front bar limits the lean of the body, keeps the outside front tire flatter on the road, and gives a more immediate response to steering. Adjustable mounting points let you step the stiffness up or down without changing the bar.
Expect a moderate job of about 3 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. 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 elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Finish: The metal parts are powder coated for durability.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane is firmer than the factory rubber, so it deflects less under load.
- Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
- Roll stiffness: Bar diameter sets the stiffness, and this one raises roll resistance.
- Self-lubricating: Built-in grease reservoirs provide continual lubrication and reduce friction.
