my mini makes a few suspension noises from the front and rear. For the front one, it happens when going over bumps and its a clunking sound. The one from the rear is hard to describe but more like a clicking and a very subtle clunk, but it doesn't happen over large bumps, just when im on a rough road or turning while on a bumpy surface. I think the front one might be control arms but I have no idea what the rear could be. The rear noise occurs more often when it is cold outside. Are there any known problems with suspension in these cars? Any help is much appreciated

 

Front control arms were replaced on mine for that problem under warranty. Lots of F56's had the same problem. Don't know about the rear issue.

 

Unfortunately my car is out of warranty, I might end up doing it myself.

 

Rear end link maybe for the rear or dry bushings for the sway bar. I have an aftermarket rear sway bar and when I hear the clunk, that means get under and lube up the bushings. Clunk is gone
