Hello,

Greetings from Costa Rica. I’ve a 2020 F55 Cooper S and I’ve been feeling a weird rubbing/clicking sensation when turning the steering wheel of the car when stationery or at parking speeds.

I took my car to the dealership and they told that the issue were the strut mounts and that they would have to order them from the US and they take between 15-22 days to get here. Apparently the car is safe to drive, is this true?

Will replacing the strut mounts fix my issue or will something else need to be replaced?

I would not like to cause further damage to the car or I don’t know if this issue could cause a mushroomed strut tower.

Btw, my car is only only one year old and has 14000km or 9000 miles approx and it’s still under warranty.

Thanks in advance for the help.
