Unhappy Mini

[J_NeoN]

My Mini appears to be sinking which is making me sad.




On a serious note though I know the rear is usually higher on Minis but Ive yet to see one as high as mine. Anybody any ideas of going about lowering the suspension on the back or something like that and if its a big job, worth doing it or just any thoughts on it at all. Thanks J.

I think from the photo it's the front needs attention , rear is usually slightly higher than the front to compensate for any passengers and boot luggage , It looks like the front suspension needs a bit of a lift , no major problem and usually only a couple of washers . special tool required though .

Your knuckle joints are shot by the looks of it!

You should be able to pick up a pair of them in your local motor factors for a few quid.


It's possible to fit them yourself if you have a balljoint splitter but otherwise any garage will do the work for you. Shouldn't be too expensive.

You still need to 'compress' the rubber cone and need a special tool , it's no big deal when you know what you are doing . but beware We have had a few in where People tried and even broke the tool in the rubber cone , then it's strip the top suspension arm .so beware it's certainly a DIY job with the right tools though .
