Monroe Shocks & Struts 72481 front left suspension strut for the 2007-2016 Mini Cooper damps suspension movement to keep the tire on the road. It is a gas-charged unit, and its rod extends on its own.

  • Monroe OESpectrum line with Twin Technology™ Active Control System, which isolates impact-related noise, vibration and harshness
  • Rod displaced valving tuned to each vehicle, adjusting to road extremes for a consistent, smooth ride (on most applications)
  • All-weather fluid with special additives for extreme temperatures and to help reduce oil breakdown
  • PTFE-banded piston for consistent sealing between the piston and the pressure tube
  • Nitrogen gas charge that keeps tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration (on most applications)
  • Chrome-plated piston, bronze reinforced rod guide bearing and special single lip seal (where applicable)

Fluid leaking down the strut body, a bouncy ride or a clunk over bumps can mean a strut is worn. Worn strut mounts, coil springs or tires can be behind the same signs, so find the cause before buying. Front struts are normally replaced as a pair; this listing is one strut for the left, and the front right is a separate part.

Fits

It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2016 Mini Cooper, which takes one on the front left.
