Which vehicle does this Quick-Strut fit?
It is a direct-fit front-left assembly for the 2002-2006 MINI Cooper. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the correct application for your vehicle.
Do I need a spring compressor to install it?

What position does this assembly cover?
This is the front-left (driver-side) corner. For balanced handling, it's best practice to replace the opposite side at the same time as a matched pair.

It comes preassembled with the strut, an application-specific coil spring, and a premium upper strut mount, providing the major components for a front-left strut replacement.
Signs my strut assembly may need replacing?
Signs can include excessive body sway, a bouncy or harsh ride, uneven tire wear, or noise over bumps. Diagnose the cause before ordering to confirm the strut is at fault.
