...and left him crying by the side of the road like a little girl.
Okay.
That was a lead-in.
I didn't really leave him crying.
My question is; I've read about our strut-towers mushrooming, and am curious as to the symptoms. Emily (02 MCS) has developed a "***** (clank?)" noise occasionally when hitting the un-avoidable potholes that breed like rabbits here in New England. Are our bushings prone to problems? Loose nut behind the wheel? Do I need to change my Halogen fluid?
Thanks,
Hegira

 

This is getting boring learn a new line.

 

People with relevant info to your questions will be more likely to read your thread in the first place if you use the proper subject line -- there are probably lots of people who can speak about mushrooming and symptoms who are not even bothering to open the "so I raced a ..." threads anymore.

Just a thought

 

Agreed, but to address your question that clank clank is possibly from a worn control arm bushing. I just had both left and right lower control arm bushings replaced under warranty. I hear its a very common problem with Mini's and BMW's in general. Ironically when I was picking my car up from service I heard a service advisor taking down information on a repair from a customer and he was saying something about a worn lower control arm bushing on a BMW...

 

In light of the misleading thread title, I edited and renamed it. In the future, I hope members will give their threads relevant titles, rather than use inflammatory phrases that seem to violate Site Guidelines.

I was thinking I was more like Andy or maybe Amos
