We put a lot of miles on last year's SEMA show Mini and unlike most show/project cars they are not gentle miles. So when we started to get some mysterious handling issues and a little clicking noise under acceleration we started to hunt around for what the cause could be. Turns out that the sub-frame mounts were completely blow out.
But here is the problem, the Mini while it is an icon around the world, is still a fairly rare sight here in the USA. Even shops that specialize in Mini Coopers. But after calling around to every Mini shop in California we finally found a complete set of all six mounts. Saying up into the wee hours of the morning the Mini was fixed and drives like new.
