Upper Strut Mount Shock Absorber Guide Value Priced MINI Cooper Cooper S R50 R52 R53 Gen1

MINI aftermarket Value Priced replacement upper mounting plate for the front macpherson strut assembly for MINIs built after 03/2002. The rubber bushing will crack over time and can lead to support failure. This is also an area that can get damaged from hitting a large pothole. You can identify this by seeing if the topside strut mounting area has deformed or 'mushroomed'.

Fits:

03/2002-2006 R50 MINI Cooper and R53 Cooper S Hatchback
2005-2006 R52 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Convertible
