Smooth out the ride and restore factory-tuned control at the back of your Mini with the Monroe OESpectrum Rear Suspension Strut 72482. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2016 MINI Cooper (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications). Designed to help restore a vehicle's original factory drivability while filtering out noise, vibration and harshness, this OESpectrum strut is tuned with application-specific technology for handling precision and control.
Reduced NVH: Twin Technology Active Control System delivers control under most driving conditions while isolating impact-related noise, vibration and harshness.
Exceptional handling: Rod-displaced valving, tuned to the vehicle, adjusts to road extremes for a consistent, smooth ride (on most applications).
Consistent ride: OE all-weather fluid contains special additives to assist with extreme temperatures and help reduce oil breakdown.
Control and durability: PTFE-banded piston provides consistent sealing between piston and pressure tube; nitrogen gas charge helps maintain tire-to-road contact by reducing aeration (on most applications).
A chrome-plated piston, bronze-reinforced rod guide bearing and special single-lip seal support durability and longer service life (where applicable). A protective dust boot and jounce bumper are sold separately. Backed by Monroe's Limited Lifetime Warranty and Feel the Difference Guarantee.
