Mini Control Arm Bushings
Anyone replace control arm bushings on a r52 or r53 Mini? Looks like there are 2 options, drop the sub frame and unbolt the rear bushings are leave the sub frame and cut out the bushings using Powerflex parts. Any opinions or things to lookout for?
Sure makes me miss the simplicity of bmw's.

U no it is a BMW right? Maybe you missed cars that were simpler to work on aka 21 years ago??

Ha. I thought about putting this in the bmw section but alas, its not really a bmw. Well, parts prices are bmw and interior build quality... But, my point was directed to my old e36's hard to beat the simplicity of their front suspension. Sure, it doesnt wear that great but its darn simple to replace. The packaging in the mini makes just about everything a little more complicated.
