Mini Cooper S: Knocking Noise Fixed

This John Cooper Works edition Mini Cooper S came into suspension-specialist ,Tuned UK, with a knocking noise coming from the rear suspension and vague handling (a very common issue on these cars).
Rich talks you through the symptoms, the diagnosis and, how he fixed the problem using SuperPro suspension parts.

Were is your garage located? I have a bmw f45 active tourer which basically from a mini chassis. I have a knoking noise at the front nearside of the car., droplink has been replaced but didn't go away. I have been into 2 garages but can't find any fault but the knoking noise is getting worst. I tbink you're the right person that can solve this issue. Thanks

Where can you purchase the links and bushings? I have a 2011 cooper s and I'm getting the same sound in the rear

[@oceanside2152]

Nice Shop. Reminds me of Eddie Murphy in 'Beverly Hills Cop' - "THIS IS THE NICEST COP CAR I'VE EVER BEEN IN!"

Ive had my 2013 Mini Cooper D Countryman in for a service today and to check for noise coming from rear suspension.The mechanic couldnt find anything.He said it could be the shocks as the car feels to bounce and step out over bumpy surfaces.Theres definitely something not right.

Very good video, thank you for all the info! New to Mini Cooper brand and loving it so far but will love it more once I get the knocking noise out of the rear.

I’m on a Peugeot, but I see some information here that is useful to everybody, those bushings are new news to me, along with the adjustable drop link, upgrading parts is exactly what I want to do, where can I connect with the people who supply these bushings and drop links? Awesome video, thankyou

[@TheShortyal]

👋 hello, this is an amazing video, would be perfect if you do it for the mini 3rd gen F56

[@MrGibbie2210]

loved the video, do you have the part numbers for the drop links and also the rear lower bushes? looked online and there seems to be a lot of different ones

[@musntang1]

Nice job, what year is it?

[@AmandaLLobo]

Hi just wanted to see if there was a link to the part number! ☺️🙏🏻

[@ponderatulify]

What about knocking noise when hitting speed bumps ?

[@patrykb8962]

In my case was wobbly shock dust cover

[@craigpardoe71]

Have you had experience with thumping noise from fuel tank when switched off

[@tasfras1]

Awesome work Rich!

[@SteeeveO]

I had a rattle from the front end which sounded like a loose panel underneath the car. After a while I lost all damping from the front - both dampers had gone (£500 the pair fitted at main dealer - ouch).

[@oceanside2152]

Is 'Dampers' UK speak for Struts ?

[@SteeeveO]

@@oceanside2152 yep - damping the return action of the springs/coils.

[@SteeeveO]

Selling/trading in my JCW in 3 day's time on Saturday. Rear knocking started tonight. Bloody typical.

[@warwickdean]

Where are you guys based? I've got knocking from the back, had new roll bar and bushes and links. I'm starting to loose my patience with it to be honest
