Mini Steering Column diagram for Cooper Clubman, Cooper

The steering column system is crucial for vehicle control, providing the structural support and housing for the components that allow the driver to steer. It connects the steering wheel to the steering gear, translating the driver's input into wheel movement.

• Wear in bearings or bushings can lead to loose steering or play in the wheel.
• Damage to electrical components within the column can result in issues with turn signals, wipers, or other steering wheel-mounted controls.
• Corrosion or impact can compromise the structural integrity of the column, affecting steering responsiveness and safety.

About Genuine Mini

The original parts used by Mini to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mini” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mini, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mini Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mini are not necessarily manufactured by Mini. No cause for concern, as Mini designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mini for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mini parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mini logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
