Take the harshness out of a rough, noisy rear ride with the KYB strut mount kit SM5444, a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2012 MINI Cooper, the 2011-2016 MINI Cooper Countryman, and the 2013-2016 MINI Cooper Paceman — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. This rear suspension strut mount kit locates the top of the strut to the body and isolates road inputs from the cabin.
As the rubber in an original mount hardens and cracks, it stops damping properly and can allow knocking or clunking over bumps along with added vibration through the chassis. If a worn rear strut mount is the cause, this kit replaces it and restores proper vibration isolation. Built to KYB's reputation for high-quality strut mounts and bearing plates.
