Product Description

The Whiteline W52614 is a performance bushing kit for the front lower, inner-rear control arm on Mini Cooper models (R50 / R53) from the early 2000s. Unlike standard replacements, this kit uses dual-offset bushings to introduce a static caster gain of approximately +0.5°, which can noticeably improve handling precision and straight-line stability.

These synthetic elastomer bushings feature internal grease reservoirs to reduce friction and extend their lifespan. Their construction resists oil, ozone, and other environmental factors, making them more durable than conventional rubber bushings. The hard-plated metal components further enhance longevity by resisting corrosion.

When installed, the W52614 helps restore alignment under load, improves braking performance, and gives your Mini a sharper, more controlled feel. With a lifetime warranty, it's a reliable upgrade for enthusiasts and daily drivers alike.
