I have a stock Cooper. 49K miles in 2.5 years. I advised my SA that the suspension felt a little loose. They ended up replacing my Front LCA bushings. I do drive rather spiritedly when my Speed & G Force Monitor (read wife) is not on board. My question is, what else wears/fails at about the same time as these bushings? ie: the Rears, the UCA bushings, shocks? TIA

 

When you say loose are you talking about the ***-end wanting to pass the front or the car just feeling sloppy? When you say loose that means that the rear end wants to come around but from the rest of your post I'm not sure that that's what you are in reference to.

 

Yeah, sorry, I meant sloppy.

 

I would plan on changing struts/shocks.

 

Sounds like it's time for some Bilstein's...
