BMW Shocks & Struts for MINI

Due to their soft rubber construction, OE strut mounts are known to wear at an accelerated rate. Many high-mileage vehicles fall victim to strut mount failure, which is commonly associated with annoying clunks, groans, or rattles from the front suspension.

With this issue in mind, ECS Tuning developed their heavy-duty front strut mount with upgraded, higher durometer rubber to resolve sloppy handling and increase longevity. Manufactured precisely within OEM tolerances, these mounts are a perfect fit for your MINI.

Features:

Reduces deflection: Increases vehicle handling and cornering dynamics by removing deflection within the strut mount. Increases longevity: Upgraded rubber construction makes for a stiffer mount, less prone to cracking and general degradation. Developed in-house: Designed and tested by ECS Tuning engineers, this mount is sure to outlast an OE replacement. Upgrade to a better strut mount without sacrificing ride comfort! Improve longevity and ride control all at once.

Known by various names such as guide mount or front strut support, this component plays a pivotal role in maintaining the tranquility of your vehicle's suspension. Over time, wear and tear can cause suspension squeaks or unsettling clunking noises, emphasizing the importance of this part for a peaceful driving experience.

What sets this guide mount apart is its versatility, as it can be utilized on both the passenger and driver sides of your vehicle. When the spring and strut are compressed and locked, exposing the end thread of the strut, this guide mount securely attaches to the top of the strut, ensuring a reliable and noise-free suspension system.

For the best results, professional installation is highly recommended, guaranteeing not only a quieter ride but also the long-lasting performance of this critical component.

Positioned between the strut mount and spring pad, the bump stop provides crucial support for your vehicle's shock absorber. Its primary role is to prevent the strut from over-compressing when encountering significant bumps or rough terrain, which could otherwise lead to damage to the strut and other suspension components.

Constructed from a soft rubber material, bump stops are designed for maximum impact absorption. However, they are susceptible to dry-rotting and general wear over time. ECS recommends replacing bump stops whenever the spring strut is disassembled for maintenance or replacement.
