Product Information

For Mini Cooper's with John Cooper Works suspension, must be replaced in pairs, sold individually

This bushing secures the back of the control arm in place. The back of the control arm fits snug in place and the bushing is pressed into a retaining bracket. Over the course of tens of thousands of miles this bushing has been known to wear causing excessive movement of the front control arms.

FCP recommends replacing this control arm in matched pairs for best performance and overall safety.

Suspension Control Arm Bushing

Control arms are links that help connect and stabilize the vehicle's suspension to the subframe of the vehicle. Many vehicle’s, while varying in suspension layout, will have control arms with serviceable bushings and/or joints on either end where they meet the undercarriage or spindle of the vehicle.

Suspension Control Arm Bushing Failure Symptoms

As the rubber on these bushings degrades or cracks they will no longer provide a rigid connection and cause problems in handle and ride quality. Often times to save time and cost it is possible to press out the original worn bushing and press in a replacement instead of replacing the complete control arm. Common failure symptoms of faulty control arms bushings include:

  • Uneven tire wear and inability to align vehicle
  • Poor handling characteristics
  • Loud clunking, metal on metal sounds, suspension buckling
  • Vibration or wobble in the steering wheel
  • Banging sound over bumps

About Genuine Mini
