If you have trouble getting your front alignment to spec, or feel your car 'wandering' down the freeway, there is a possibility you need this bushing replaced. If you see a fluid leak from this bracket, it's time to replace it.
For the do-it-yourself'r, the bushing can be replaced from the bracket, but the old will need to be pressed out and the new pressed in with a special BMW Tool. This bushing goes on the rear end of the front lower control arm.
One per side, sold individually.
For MINI Cooper and Cooper s manufactured 2002 thru 2006, and for 2007-2008 Convertibles.
To simplify repair, you can replace the entire bracket with the bushing already pressed in. If you prefer to get the bushing with the bracket, see NMS7615L. Replacing the entire bracket with the bushing will save you a lot of time for little added expense. You also won't need the BMW 'special tool' if you replace the entire bracket with bushing already installed.
