Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Lower Forward Trailing Arm Bushing Kit fits the 2004-2006 Mini Cooper. Part number W63627. It goes on the rear of the vehicle. Whiteline's note for this fit: Fits vehicle produced from May 2003 onward. Included: 2 shell bushing and 2 tubes.
A trailing arm bushing is the pivot where the arm joins the chassis or the wheel carrier. Factory rubber is chosen for quiet and comfort, so it squashes under braking, acceleration, and cornering and lets the arm move more than it should. A firmer replacement keeps the arm where it belongs, which steadies the alignment and gives the car a more consistent feel. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 2 hours of work listed. A wheel alignment is not required. 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
- Material: Made from polyurethane.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
- Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
- Install guide: Step-by-step installation instructions come with it.
