Monroe Shocks & Struts Suspension Strut P/N:553002
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.
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.
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2016 Mini Cooper, which takes one on the front left.
