These control arms are designed for many MINI models including R50, R52, R53, R56, R57, R58 and R59. They cover model years roughly from 2001 through 2015 — please verify fitment against your specific VIN or contact the seller to confirm compatibility with your vehicle.
Yes. They provide camber adjustment capability of approximately +/- 4 degrees to help correct alignment and reduce tire wear, especially on lowered vehicles.
The arms are heavy-duty steel alloy with a spherical bearing and ball joint. They are TIG welded for strength and durability, and use a spherical bearing instead of rubber bushings for a stiffer setup.
Yes. They are specifically stated as perfect for lowered vehicles where factory arms are limited, because of their camber adjustment capability.
No. These control arms only work with disc brake applications. They will not work with vehicles equipped with drum brakes and some modifications may be required for certain setups.
Professional installation is highly recommended. The product does not include installation instructions and proper fitment and alignment require experience and tools.
The listing notes that instructions are not included. The package includes all items shown in the product picture, but you should verify whether specific fasteners or OE bolts are provided before installation.
Yes. Replacement and adjustment of rear lower control arms will change alignment settings; a professional 4-wheel alignment is strongly recommended after installation.
This product comes with a 2-year warranty.
They are described as direct replacement units, but because they use spherical bearings and provide adjustability, fit and installation may differ slightly from OEM parts. Professional installation is recommended.
They use spherical bearings (and a ball joint) rather than rubber bushings. The spherical bearing offers a stiffer setup compared with factory rubber bushings.
Because spherical bearings are stiffer than rubber bushings, you may notice increased road feedback or NVH compared with stock rubber-mounted control arms. This is common with performance-oriented aftermarket components.
The listing references OEM No./Ref: {-1-CA-MINI-0213-LC}. If you need an exact OEM cross-reference, contact the seller with your VIN to confirm compatibility.
The seller requests customers contact them via eBay message for any assistance. Use that channel for fitment questions, returns, or warranty claims.
