The steering feels light and not as tight when you turn right? Sounds like control arm bushing is gone. If you want original MINI branded part rather than OEM, have to replace entire arm. If you don't mind OEM, can just replace the bushing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroymenthol 6th Gear October 18, 2011 Share October 18, 2011 next stage.....coilover , instantaneous result ............. Stock Cooper S suspension already bone rattling. If replace with coilover, sure go see doctor But you are right. With coilover, steering will feel stiffer and more precise. I use the word feel cos that was what it felt like with my merc last time. Real or not i dunno... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic October 18, 2011 Share October 18, 2011 I have the same problem, the right side feels lighter. But only when I carry my MIL. She likes to sit behind the wife on the left hand side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky_vinz Clutched October 18, 2011 Share October 18, 2011 For every 10,000km, - Tyre rotation. - Wheel balancing. - High speed balancing. For every 20,000km, - Wheel alignment (include camber setting). This is the guide I've been using for my car. You may wish to purchase strut bars and chassis bars for extra stiffness, without sacrificing much of the comfort of stock suspension. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viceroymenthol 6th Gear October 19, 2011 Share October 19, 2011 You need someone who is good at 4 wheel alignment to correct it. Also this guy should also be able to correct the setback. But he mentioned he already did correct alignment. Alignment means correct the toe, camber and castor. Anyway, i think conti cars castor is "dead" one. Have to do modifications to make it more positive/negative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroymenthol 6th Gear October 19, 2011 Share October 19, 2011 Google camber kit. He said he already did alignment. Means camber adjustment is included and already corrected by workshop. If he did all alignment and still got steering problems, means bushings gone or control arm is bent. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
